Restoring habitats to support thriving ecosystems

At Moonlit Sanctuary, conservation extends beyond the animals in our care. We are committed to protecting, restoring and enhancing the habitats that support Australia’s unique wildlife and contribute to a healthier, more connected landscape.

As part of our regenerative tourism approach, we take a science-led approach to habitat management, focusing on restoring native vegetation, improving biodiversity and creating better conditions for wildlife to thrive.

Our Conservation Management Plan provides a five-year framework for protecting and enhancing the ecosystems within the Sanctuary. Developed through ecological assessments, vegetation surveys and collaboration with conservation experts, the plan identifies key priorities including weed management, habitat restoration, biodiversity monitoring and improving wildlife connectivity.

The Sanctuary is located within the Gippsland Plain bioregion, close to Western Port Bay wetlands and within an important wildlife corridor. Our habitat restoration work supports a range of native species, including threatened wildlife, while contributing to broader conservation efforts across the region.

Connecting habitats for wildlife

A key part of our conservation work is the Western Port Koala Corridor Project, which is restoring connections between fragmented habitats through large-scale native tree planting. These wildlife corridors provide safer movement pathways and essential habitat for koalas and many other native species.
