NUMBAT CHOCOLATES!!

/

Project Numbat is excited to be collaborating with the Margaret River Chocolate Company which has been supporting a wide range of community and charitable organisations throughout Western Australia for more than 20 years, including partnerships in the areas of conservation and research of local endangered fauna.

A numbat chocolate has just joined their fundraising range (along with the cute Quokka and Western Swamp Tortoise) and we are thrilled that part proceeds from the sales of the chocolate will be donated to Project Numbat. These funds will enable us to further promote community awareness and conservation efforts for our beloved state emblem, the numbat.

A STATEMENT FROM PROJECT NUMBAT

/

Project Numbat has received correspondence from our members and the general public regarding the prescribed burn at Perup Nature Reserve on 25 March 2021, and share your concern about the effect of this event on the numbat population.

We note that there appears to be conflicting media reports regarding the burn and its projected impact on numbats. Accordingly, Project Numbat are seeking clarification from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) on the factors that were taken into consideration before conducting the burn, the steps that were taken to limit its effect on numbats, and its anticipated impact on the numbat population. We are also liaising with DBCA regarding identified actions for post-burn monitoring and recovery, and hope to assist DBCA with recovery efforts as necessary.

Project Numbat are heartened by the outpouring of community support for protecting the remaining numbat populations.

Thank you for the continued advocacy of our members for our state mammal emblem.

August AGM & Business Plan 2019-2022

The Project Numbat committee recently updated its Business Plan 2019-2022 which reflects how the committee would like to work towards achieving its three objectives:

PN+Business+Plan.jpg

1. To enhance efforts to conserve the Numbat and its natural habitat

2. To promote and assist community awareness of the Numbat; and

3. To undertake activities to raise monies to support Numbat conservation.

Responsible cat ownership was ranked the highest by the committee, followed by exploring various fundraising platforms and creating an active volunteer program. This plan has already been shared with stakeholders so we can identify collaborative opportunities.

Do you want to help us achieve these objectives, expand your skills and work with like-minded people to safeguard the Numbat? Then why not join our committee?

Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Tues 20th of August 2019, 6pm in South Perth Western Australia.

All positions will be vacant, in-fact some current committee members have expressed they will be taking a break and we are seeking people to fill the following positions:

President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Merchandise, Media, Events, Education and 5 general committee positions. More details on all positions can be found here.

Value of Volunteers

/

Project Numbat is a not profit group and its entire committee is run by volunteers. Each volunteer brings an expertise and has a passion to get things done and always follows through!

We are fortunate that over the years we have attracted like mind people to assist us out in the field as we understand for some, volunteering cannot always be on a regular basis.

Want to know more about Project Numbat? click here

Here is a snap shot of Project Numbat’s achievements in 2018:

  • Over 18 volunteers assisted with numbat dig identification surveys across 4 reserves totaling 239 hours

  • Our camera monitoring project run every quarter attracted 21 volunteers contributing over 300 hours

  • Nine volunteers removed weeds from Dryandra Woodland contributing over 40 hours

    And a photographic celebration of our volunteers!

Williams Community Numbat Update

/

Our Quiz night was a great success and we were able to raise the final amount of funds for our Numbat sculpture - just over $6,000 in fact!

A big thank you to all those that attended.

The sculpture is now well underway and is due to be installed by mid July in the Lions Park at Williams. Raising the $46,000 could not have been achieved without support from the Williams community and its local Council.

This foam version of the Numbat will now be used to create a Numbat mould. CDM - Creative Design Models are the fabricators behind this 'one off' invention which has been a dream of Project Numbat's for many years.
