Case studies in South Australia
Gluepot Reserve
Covering almost 55,000 hectares near Waikerie in South Australia, Gluepot Reserve is a paradise for birds, with almost 200 different bird species recorded there. Of all the reserve's winged residents, the endangered black-eared miner is the most significant. This shy honeyeater was the main reason Birds Australia set out to protect Gluepot more than a decade ago.
Witchelina Reserve
Helping to build a wildlife corridor from Lake Torrens to the Northern Territory border, giving native species room to adapt in the face of a changing climate, fire and drought. Witchelina helps build the world's first transcontinental habitat corridor, from Port Augusta to Arnhem Land, the Trans-Australia Eco-Link.
Coorong National Park
When a quarter of South Australia's Hindmarsh Island was bought for conservation, it sparked some unusual environmental partnerships that now protect habitat far beyond the reserve's borders.
