An investment in large scale wildlife conservation, is set to be delivered through a partnership in the Illawarra.
A three-year $450,000 deal between GM3 Dendrobium Mine, the Symbio Conservation Foundation, and Symbio Wildlife Park, will see conservation projects across the Illawarra Escarpment and Plateau.
It includes a suite of science-based conservation activities aimed at better understanding and protecting biodiversity in the Illawarra, with a significant portion of this work to be undertaken on GM3-owned land that has already been mined underground.
Projects will focus on improving habitat for threatened species, building long-term monitoring capacity, strengthening research partnerships and actively involving the local community in conservation efforts.
The new investment will also support the Mount Kembla ‘Integrated Threatened Species and Habitat Recovery Program’.
