Bungwalbin Reserves Bushfire Recovery for Wildlife and Habitat
Fire burnt through 98% of the 12,250 ha Bungwalbin group of 7 reserves in north-eastern NSW impacting habitat for a range of threatened species and ecological communities. Systematic feral pig and weed control works at this critical time will contribute to the recovery of 11 priority threatened species, endangered coastal floodplain forest and lowland rainforest threatened ecological communities limiting decline and preventing extinctions. Bandjalang Indigenous bush regenerators will be engaged and mentored by professional bush regeneration contractors to assist restoration of cultural and natural values. Monitoring post fire response of flora and fauna will contribute to improved understanding of future actions required for recovery.
