What wildlife species are at risk in the Sutherland Shire and how can I help protect them?

Several wildlife species in the Sutherland Shire face threats, including the endangered Eastern Curlew and the vulnerable Little Tern. These birds rely on our local beaches and wetlands for nesting and feeding. • To help protect these species, it's important to follow guidelines when visiting their habitats. Avoid disturbing nesting areas, especially during breeding seasons, and keep dogs on leashes to prevent disturbing wildlife. • You can also support local conservation initiatives by donating to wildlife rescue organizations or participating in awareness campaigns that educate the community about these species' needs. Every little bit helps in ensuring their survival!
