Part 6/10:
Shark Bay, home to the Francois Peron National Park, is another remarkable area that experiences its own conservation story. Enclosed by a protective fence, the park becomes a sanctuary for native species, especially the endangered banded hare wallabies. Nicole Godfrey, a dedicated caretaker, spends over a decade nurturing these vulnerable marsupials, striving to establish a safe haven away from feral predators such as foxes and cats that threaten their survival.
The park’s wildlife strategies also highlight the importance of reintroducing species into their natural habitats. With the creation of a predator-free zone within Francois Peron National Park, efforts focus on breeding and subsequently reintroducing the hare wallabies into the wild, ensuring their species' continuation.
