The DPLH are currently conducting a study to explore potential land uses for the Cockburn Wildlife corridor - originally reserved for the Roe 8/9 Highway. The corridor crosses 7 distinct ecological zones, including wetlands, paperbark forests and banksia woodlands as well as 3 dune systems. This environment not only houses hundreds of reptiles and small marsupial species, native to WA but it is also the home to our beloved black cockatoos which face extinction threats. Paddy Cullen, a prominent environmental activist who has dedicated much of his life to raising awareness for the preservation of these endangered majestic creatures, spoke to Zoe about what threat any development would have on our endangered Black Cockatoos.
