Cape York, Australia
-10.707°S, 142.528°E
The Cape York Peninsula, in Australia’s far north, supports heathlands, dune vegetation, savannah, rainforest, wetlands, and mangrove vegetation.
A third of Australia’s mammal species and half of the bird species are found in the Cape.
Relatively little is known about the region’s biodiversity or the impacts of climate change, land clearing, changed fire regimes, introduced predators, invasive plants and animals, and disease.
People For Wildlife has partnered with Louis Vuitton and the Apudthama Land Trust in the Cape to deliver conservation work across one million acres of Aboriginal freehold land.
The Land Trust represents the Angkamuthi, Atampaya, and Gudang-Yadhakenu people.
The five-year project involves establishing a network of monitoring survey sites to help determine trends in biodiversity health.
Targeted wildlife research and conservation initiatives are underway for estuarine crocodiles, turtles, snakes and palm cockatoos. In addition landscape-wide management of feral animals, wetlands, fire, and revegetation projects, are being implemented together with the Apudthama Land and Sea Rangers and other Traditional Owners.
