Biodiversity at Bowra

From the gorgeous mulga parrot to the charismatic Hall’s babbler, Bowra Wildlife Sanctuary run by Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is a haven for some of Australia’s most sought-after arid-zone birds.

Join us at Friday Environment Forum for a special presentation on AWC’s conservation work at Bowra, a former grazing property transformed into a protected sanctuary near Cunnamulla in southwest Queensland. With over 200 bird species recorded, including nine threatened species, Bowra plays a vital role in safeguarding the region’s biodiversity.

This presentation will introduce AWC’s broader conservation work – spanning more than 12.9 million hectares – and then dive into the science-led efforts at Bowra to protect birds and mammals alike.

From controlling feral predators to restoring habitat, AWC is reversing the decline of native species through practical, on-ground action.

Whether you’ve birded at Bowra before, dream of visiting one day, or are interested in positive conservation news, come along to Friday Forum on June 13 to learn what’s being done to protect Bowra’s incredible diversity of birdlife – and how you can be part of the story.

Everyone is welcome at the forum at the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville which starts at 10.30am with morning tea available from 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by tap and go at the door which includes morning tea/coffee.

Join the bird observers at 8.30am in the carpark for interpretive birding.
