Endangered Finch Makes Comeback in Hills Fleurieu - Podcast

A revegetation program in the Hills Fleurieu region is having a positive influence on the region’s ecology and birdlife.

‘Back from the Brink’ project includes large-scale revegetation, designed specifically to support a suite of threatened heathland birds.

Thirty-four bird species have been recorded across 22 sites with sightings of one of the target species, the Western Beautiful Firetail the most significant.

Regional ecologist Luke Price from Landscape SA said he is heartened to see the critically endangered species making a comeback and eagerly utilising the restored habitat.

He joins Jennie Lenman in this podcast to talk more about the news.
