About the Project
Three species of black cockatoos – Baudin’s, Carnaby’s, and Forest Red-tailed – face increasing pressure from habitat loss, a changing climate, and landscape disturbance. While significant research has been done on the iconic Carnaby's cockatoos across the Perth and Wheatbelt regions, there remains a major knowledge gap in the southern forest regions, particularly around the lesser studied Forest Red-tailed and Baudin's cockatoos.
While all three species of black cockatoo in the southwest are threatened, Baudin’s Cockatoo is the most endangered and yet it is the least understood. Many experts fear it could go extinct within a decade without urgent action.
Despite this, large areas of potential habitat in the Southern Jarrah Forest remain understudied – and without a clear picture of the cockatoos' needs and movements across this region, critical ecosystems are currently being overlooked and degraded through inaction and mismanagement.
PROJECT: Using Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) strategically deployed across a range of different target vegetation communities, Clint is conducting a long-term acoustic study to determine which habitats black cockatoos rely on at various times of the year, and why. This includes identifying the understory plant communities, and seasonal patterns that drive their habitat use across the forest.
