Protection boost for western whipbird and other Mallee species (Environment
SA)

Efforts to protect threatened bird species have been boosted, with a new
wilderness protection area declared in the Murraylands, in the east of South
Australia.

It covers 60,000 hectares of scrubland and sand dunes in Billiatt
Conservation Park, 30 kilometres north of Lameroo.

It is the fifth protection area to be declared in South Australia since
1992.

The park's threatened birds include the western whipbird, mallee fowl and
the red-lored whistler.
