Riverina Local Land Services (Riverina LLS) is working with local landholders and managers to help protect Malleefowl habitat and reintroduce Malleefowl to the area through funding under the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program.
A 55-hectare predator proof Malleefowl Sanctuary, northeast of Griffith was built in 2018 and is run by Riverina LLS to incubate eggs and provide a safe haven for the independent-from-birth chicks.
Although this year’s breeding season was shaping up to be successful, only 2 chicks were incubated and released into the Sanctuary after soaring temperatures and severe storms affected Malleefowl across the region.
