night parrot

Dear All

Really great news about finding the Night Parrot in WA.     This makes almost a 
dozen known presumed breeding sites.

John Young must again be feted for his remarkable persistence in 
“re-discovering” these birds  

He deserves an OA , in the meantime BA should create and bestow an ONP , (Order 
of the Night Parrot.) on this guy as the first recipient for services to 
Australian Ornithology.

What measures are underway to protect the now known populations of NPs from 
cats and foxes.?  Some of those sites are to be incorporated into Conservation 
areas, a small number are being fenced, does the Qld Government have any 
specific plans.

The WA Govt used to have an extremely active conservation policy some years 
ago, does this still exist?  

           
                                                            Cheers

                                                                  Michael
