Defend WA's Nature - Wetlands Action

Brixton Wetland is a globally significant wetland - a hotspot of biodiversity within the South West Global Biodiversity Hotspot - and is home to three threatened species of Black Cockatoo. However, a proposal would see the area destroyed by clearing 257 hectares for industry in and around the wetland.

We urgently need strong nature laws that prevent the clearing of critical habitat for threatened species.

At this critical moment, the WA Government is poised to introduce nature law reforms to Parliament this August. There’s a danger that these reforms could weaken the few defences currently in place, accelerating the destruction of our fragile environment.
