Australian Wildlife Conservancy is Western Australian based. It was
established (from memory?) by Martin Copley. I guess that he has the same
ideals as John Walmsley who established Earth Sanctuaries in South
Australia and elsewhere. You can donate to them in a similar way. Theiur
web site is http://www.australianwildlife.org/
They have purchased Mornington Station in the Kimberley, Faure Island in
Shark Bay, Mt Gibson Station between Wubin and Paynes Find about 400km NE
of Perth, Paruna and Karakamia sanctuaries just out of Perth, etc. They
are breeding endangered species on these sanctuaries such as Bilby, Woylie,
Boodie, Numbat, Black-footed Rock-Wallaby, etc.
They also bought several of the Earth Sanctuaries properties when ESL got
into financial difficulties.
They are very well worth supporting.
