Throughout 2023, WildArt POTY will be helping to raise money for the purchase of Eungedup Wetlands, a project brought to our attention, and championed by, WildArt judge Georgina Steytler. Nestled between Denmark and Albany on the south coast of Western Australia, these remarkable wetlands provide a unique opportunity to preserve endangered wildlife. In early 2022, a group of concerned citizens and conservation groups came together to buy farmland featuring a unique wetland, Eungedup Wetlands, containing several breeding endangered Australasian Bitterns. Eungedup Wetlands presents a unique opportunity to overcome many of the threats faced by wetland birds. Water levels in Eungedup can be managed using an existing network of channels to ensure they provide ongoing habitat for its inhabitants, including the endangered Australasian Bittern. If you have enjoyed the podcast, then why not help us to raise funds by donating a small amount to this fundraising effort. Here is the link to the donation page - https://www.wicc.org.au/eungedup-wetlands.html
