Australian Wildlife Conservancy documentary premieres at international film festival
The Australian Wildlife Conservancy released a wildlife documentary about its decade-long conservation project in Western Australia's Wheatbelt region.
Film features reintroduction efforts
A new documentary titled Back to the Bush showcases ten years of work to rehabilitate threatened species. The film was selected for the Wildlife Conservation Film Festival after being filmed at the Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary. Photographer Brad Leue recorded hundreds of hours of footage inside a predator-free fence established 360 kilometres north-east of Perth.
Ten species returned to safety
The project successfully brought ten different species back from the brink of extinction over the last decade. Brad Leue described the burrowing animals as ecosystem engineers that transformed the landscape with their activity. The documentary captures the late-night stake-outs required to help these native wildlife populations thrive.
Future plans for expansion
The Australian Wildlife Conservancy intends to introduce some of these species outside the current predator-free fence soon. This next step follows the successful completion of the ten-year rehabilitation project inside the sanctuary.
