Ngambaa Nature Reserve feral predator–free area

A network of feral predator-free areas is being established by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.

 

Ngambaa Nature Reserve is one of the 10 sites comprising the feral predator-free network, one of the most significant threatened-fauna and ecological restoration projects in New South Wales's history.

Of the 10 feral predator-free areas, 7 are being established by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, while the other 3 areas are already operational and managed through partnerships between the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Australian Wildlife Conservancy and the University of NSW (operating as Wild Deserts).

Ngambaa feral predator-free area is approximately 2,000 ha in size and is surrounded by 23 km of conservation fencing. The project will have a measurable benefit for at least 12 threatened animal species, including the re-establishment of up to 8 native mammal species which are now locally extinct in the area.
