Become a habitat hero and grow our future forests
Land fragmentation is one of the most critical — yet often overlooked — threats to biodiversity. As once-continuous ecosystems are carved up by urban sprawl, agriculture, and infrastructure, native species become stranded in shrinking pockets of habitat. This isolation makes it harder for them to find food, mates, and shelter — and pushes many closer to extinction.
But you can help put the pieces back together.
EOFY DONATION
Your 100% tax deductable donation supports our specialist native plant nursery and conservation teams, allowing the propagation and planting of essential habitat, giving our local wildlife a fighting chance.
At Barung Landcare restoring habitat through our bush regeneration and growing native habitat in our nursery has a huge impact on preserving the remnant rainforest populations across the the Blackall Range.
The Maleny Spiny Crayfish, sometimes called the Blackall Range Spiny Crayfish (Euastacus urospinosus) is one of many local species that benefit directly from Barung’s Impact. This tiny crustacean can live for up to 50 years, living in cool mountain streams in Picabeen forest. Being one of your most ancient neighbours, the Maleny Spiny Crayfish was separated from its closest relative the Mt Glorious Spiny Crayfish 1.5-2 million years ago!
Barung’s habitat conservation efforts would not be possible without the generous support of our members and the wider community. This little Cray needs a pay day!
