Enhancing Kangaroo Island ecosystems from coast to coast – Project 2

This project involves improving the condition and extent of native vegetation and protecting nationally threatened and regionally significant species across Kangaroo Island. Teams will gain skills in seed collection, propagation and revegetation while restoring a threatened ecological community. Participants will learn a range of techniques in weed control and will maintain walking and fire trails to reduce erosion to protect remnant vegetation and conservation areas. Participants will also survey koalas and shorebirds, removing coastal debris and reducing the impact of feral cats in little penguin colonies.

本项目旨在改善袋鼠岛（Kangaroo Island）全域本土植被的生长状况与覆盖范围，保护国家级受威胁物种及区域重点关注物种。项目团队成员将在修复濒危生态群落的过程中，掌握种子采集、种苗繁育与植被重建相关技能。参与者将学习多种杂草防控技术，并通过维护步行道与防火道减少水土流失，以此保护残存原生植被与保护区域。此外，参与者还将开展考拉与滨鸟的种群调查，清理海岸垃圾，并降低野化家猫对小企鹅聚居地的不利影响。
