The Expanded predator control program in the Fitz-Stirling Corridor project aims to reduce numbers of feral cats, foxes and rabbits in the area between the Stirling Range and Fitzgerald River national parks. This will reduce pressure on native animals including malleefowl, chuditch and Carnaby’s black cockatoo. The project is supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.
