Our staff and volunteers have worked hard to control feral animals and weeds. The reserve has also benefited from effective landscape-scale fox control through the national Operation Bounceback program in the Flinders Ranges.
Boolcoomatta has long-provided critical drought refuge habitat for the Plains Wanderer – an endemic species that's globally significant in conservation circles. Grasslands on the property are vital to its persistence and long-term monitoring using remote cameras and song meters help us identify areas for additional protection.
Our ecologists and volunteers have carried out plant and animal surveys, which show significant increases in shrub-dependent birds such as the Cinnamon Quail-thrush, Rufous field-wren, Redthroat and Chirruping Wedgebill.
