Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo will benefit from the 1,000 native trees and shrubs that a dozen volunteers planted on Friday 24th and Monday 27th July in conjunction with Planet Ark’s National Tree Day. The plantings are part of a Moore Catchment Council project, funded through the National Landcare Program, to provide more forage habitat for the endangered Carnaby’s in Moora. Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus latirostris) are endemic to WA but are rapidly in decline with total population estimates to be less than 60,000. The Moora Important Bird Area currently supports up to 60 breeding pairs of Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo. The birds are drawn here during the breeding season because of suitable nesting trees, but ongoing degradation/clearing of vegetation remnants – especially forage habitat, threatens the Carnaby’s survival
