The Yalgorup Lakes area, 100km south of Perth Western Australia is a truly unique environment.
This wetland area is of world significance and is protected by a number of conventions including Ramsar, JAMBA and CAMBA
Fragyle is a community group dedicated to protecting this unique environment
from numerous threats that
could destroy forever this heritage which we hold in
trust for future generations
Thrombolites, the oldest living life form in the world,
survive here but are critically endangered.
There is only one other colony in the world
that
exists in similar conditions
Thousands of birds, including the critically endangered
hooded plover, visit here to breed
Western Ringtail Possums are also critically
endangered
and have been reintroduced into the area
Majestic Tuart trees (euc gomphocephala) are
indigenous
to the area but are sadly in decline and
need all the help we can give them
