Karakamia Sanctuary

Karakamia sanctuary covers 275 hectares of Jarrah forest in the southwest of WA, less than 50 km from Perth. The sanctuary was the first property acquired by AWC, initiating the vision to make an active on the ground contribution to the conservation of Australia's native wildlife.

A primary goal of the project is to re-establish the medium-sized mammals that have either declined significantly in the region, or have become regionally extinct. It is home to 24 reptiles, 9 frogs and over 100 birds. A 9 km vermin-proof fence around the entire property has provided a home for a number of unique animals.
