The Project has reached a significant milestone with endorsement from Elder Viv, reinforcing the project's commitment to cultural integrity and Traditional Custodian leadership. In addition, a Cultural Heritage Assessment has been completed, ensuring that restoration efforts align with Wadandi Boodja Bibbulmun and the protection of significant sites. This marks an important step toward responsible land regeneration, integrating First Nations wisdom with ecological restoration to create a resilient, biodiverse landscape for future generations.

The Natural Capital Assessment for the Project has been successfully completed, providing valuable insights into the ecosystem benefits of habitat restoration. This includes carbon sequestration measurements, which will help quantify the project’s role in climate mitigation and long-term environmental resilience. By assessing the site's biodiversity, soil health, and carbon storage potential, this milestone strengthens the project’s foundation for sustainable land management and reinforces its impact-driven approach to rewilding and conservation.

The Social Impact Assessment for the Project is currently underway. This evaluation will help measure the project's broader community benefits, including cultural, economic, and environmental impacts. By assessing factors such as local engagement, education opportunities, and First Nations collaboration, the study aims to ensure that restoration efforts contribute positively to the region’s social and ecological well-being. This milestone reinforces Makuru Rewilding’s commitment to inclusive, community-driven conservation.

At Rewilding Makuru, we are laying the foundation for a long-term, holistic approach to restoring endemic habitats and safeguarding native species. Our mission extends beyond immediate conservation efforts we are committed to regenerating ecosystems that support biodiversity, resilience, and self-sustaining natural cycles. Our dedicated team, driven by a deep respect for the environment, is working to return landscapes to their natural state, ensuring they remain thriving habitats for generations to come. Recently, we encountered a vulnerable Carnaby’s black cockatoo at risk from feral predators- after our care, she was released back into her habitat. This moment served us as a reminder of our broader vision: to create safe, balanced environments where native wildlife can flourish without constant intervention.
