About Friends of Western Swamp Tortoise
Friends of the Western Swamp Tortoise is an initiative of the Threatened Species Network. After some groundwork by Greencorps, the group formed in July 2004 (and incorporated in 2005) to aid local, national and international awareness of the critically endangered status of the Western Swamp Tortoise, by providing information and educational resources.
One of the group’s primary purposes is to encourage the public to assist in Western Swamp Tortoise recovery activities that move us towards a sustainable population in Western Australia, and to complement the work of the Western Swamp Tortoise Recovery Team.
Membership of the group is free – visit https://westernswamptortoise.com.au/ for more information.
