SAFE HAVENS & CONSERVATION
PARTNERS
A haven for wildlife
Odonata’s safe havens and conservation partners protect high biodiversity landscapes and restore ecosystems, at scale. Our feral-proof safe havens allow threatened species populations to recover, thrive, and be protected from external threats.
Having multiple sites also allows for genetically robust insurance populations to be established - safeguarding against fire, flood and other climate-related pressures.
① Mt Rothwell Safe Haven VIC
The heart of Odonata’s conservation efforts, Mt Rothwell is a predator-free safe haven, protecting species like the eastern barred bandicoot, southern brush-tailed rock wallaby, and eastern quoll through dedicated habitat restoration.
③ Orana Park Safe Haven VIC
A vital link between Mt Korong and the Loddon River, Orana Park is supporting the movement and recovery of native and threatened species in a protected, feral-free environment.
