South West Region

The South West region has exceptionally high biodiversity values, supporting many species of Western Australia’s endemic flora and fauna. The area also contains four wetland systems that are recognised internationally for their significance. These values require protection and active management to counteract the impact of threats, which include salinity and invasive species.

The National Trust of Australia (WA) in partnership with private landowners and environmental groups in the region have ensured the protection of approximately 7503 hectares of remnant native bushland via conservation covenants.
