Genetic Code Of Koalas

A team of Australian and international scientists, led by Professor Rebecca Johnson, Director of the Australian Museum Research Institute and Professor Katherine Belov, University of Sydney, have made a significant break-through successfully sequencing the full koala genome. Considered to be the most complete marsupial genome sequenced to date, it is in terms of quality, on par with the human genome.

Lane Cove Bushcare Program 2018

To support the park’s volunteer programs, FNPW provided valuable funding to replenish resources for the Lane Cove Bush Care Program, enabling them to purchase additional bush regeneration kits, gloves, herbicide and herbicide applicators, weed bags, and tree planting equipment.

Tangaroa Blue

FNPW works with Tangaroa Blue to reduce the amount of rubbish entering our waterways and ocean. Over 800 species worldwide are impacted by marine debris. They need our help to survive a crisis hidden beneath the waves. More effective than cleaning up beaches is preventing rubbish from ending up there in the first place.

Malleefowl Conservation

Thanks to your support, conservation efforts for the vulnerable Malleefowl will receive a significant boost. The National Malleefowl Recovery Coordinator position will continue to be funded, to coordinate volunteers undertaking Mallefowl monitoring on 3 million hectares of private properties across four states. Before, there was no single, coordinated approach to Mallefowl conservation across the country. Now, Mallefowl have a better chance at increasing their numbers.
