In recent years, the last remaining known population of Western Ground Parrot at Cape Arid National Park has seen 80% of its contiguous heathland habitat impacted by bushfire. This project will support a much larger project aimed at establishing a new wild population of Western Ground Parrot to significantly reduce the species risk of extinction and start to build a resilient and secure population. The project will involve working in partnership with the State Recovery Team for the species to urgently assess the source population and the feasibility of translocation for the species, undertake risk assessment at potential translocation sites, develop an informed translocation plan, and evaluate the outcomes of a trial translocation.
