Southwest Black-Cockatoo Recovery

BirdLife Australia has been working on black-cockatoo recovery actions since 2001. In Western Australia, we are working with local communities, landholders and land managers to secure the protection and conservation of the three species of black-cockatoos across the South West.

South-western Australia is home to three species of black-cockatoos – Baudin’s Black-Cockatoo, Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo and the Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo – all listed as threatened under state and federal legislation.
