Save the Jarrah Forest
Protecting Western Australia’s unique, ancient native Jarrah forest ecosystem for future generations.
An Ecosystem Under Threat
The Jarrah forest (dominated by Eucalyptus marginata) is a globally unique ecosystem found nowhere else on Earth. Stretching across the southwest corner of Western Australia, these ancient trees form the backbone of a biodiversity hotspot thousands of years in the making.
This delicate environment provides vital sanctuary for threatened endemic species, including the iconic Carnaby’s and Baudin’s black cockatoos, the secretive quokka, and the endangered numbat.
The Urgent Threat
Expansive strip-mining for bauxite, habitat fragmentation, and industrial clearing continue to destroy irreplaceable native canopy, threatening ecological collapse across the region.
How You Can Help
Preserving what remains of the Jarrah forest requires collective awareness and immediate action. Here is how you can support the ecosystem today:
- Spread Awareness: Share the story of Western Australia's Jarrah forest with your community to highlight its ecological significance.
- Support Local Conservation Groups: Back community-led campaigns and environmental organizations actively working on the ground in WA.
- Contact Representatives: Urge government officials and policymakers to enforce stronger environmental protections and halt strip-mining expansion in native forests.
