The Alinytjara Wiluṟara Landscape Board will partner with the Yalata Aṉangu Aboriginal Corporation to protect the vulnerable eastern hooded plover and malleefowl from predation by foxes and cats in a new trial funded by the South Australian Government’s Landscape Priorities Fund (LPF).
The funding covers the purchase and operation of a network of satellite-connected Celium predator traps which can be remotely monitored from their locations across the Yalata Indigenous Protected Area. When a trap is activated, it sends an alert informing the rangers that an animal has been caught, reducing the need for travel over long distances and improving efficiency and safety for ranger teams.
