- Waste Wise WA
1. Land for Wildlife can help you to create a "healthy ecosystem" on your property and move towards sustainable landuse.
2. Lawns provide animals with no shade, shelter, or food, and the runoff from fertilizers and pesticides applied to lawns can contaminate wildlife habitats. Instead of cultivating a sea of grass, consider going 'wild', choose native varieties, imitate natural habitats, and provide animal food sources.
3. Fences can be barriers to wildlife, restricting access to food and shelter. If you have a tall fence, create some small gaps along the bottom through which animals can pass.
4. Clean, fresh water is important to wildlife, especially birds, insects, and amphibians. Not all animals can access a tall pedestal birdbath, so consider installing a low, ground-level birdbath or small pond.

Biodiversity is the variety among and within living things (plants and animals) and the ecological systems where they live. Protecting and keeping variety in the natural world is important. In Western Australia’s unique biodiversity hotspots, thousands of species could be lost due to climate change.
