Of the 7 feral predator-free areas, 4 are being developed by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), while the other 3 areas are already operational and managed through partnerships with NPWS.
Yathong Nature Reserve is the largest of the 7 sites comprising the feral predator-free network, one of the most significant threatened-fauna and ecological restoration projects in NSW’s history.
This feral predator-free area will involve a fenced area, or conservation fencing of 40,000 hectares and will have a measurable benefit for at least 28 threatened animal species and the re-establishment of up to 9 native mammal species currently listed as extinct in New South Wales.
