REINTRODUCTION

The ultimate aim of conservation breeding is reintroduction of endangered species into the wild. To date, Moonlit Sanctuary have bred orange-bellied parrots, bush stone-curlews and Julia Creek dunnarts  for release in reintroduction projects.

The Reintroduction Specialist Group supports reintroduction projects across the Oceania region. You can find out more about reintroduction programs in our region by visiting the Reintroductions Australia website.
