24.01.2022 Our sponsors from Nature Conservation Margaret River Region, Surfpoint Resort, and Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre giving us some insights on the significance of the black cockatoos to them and their community! We can’t stress it enough: this project would not have been possible without all of our sponsors, partners, and supporters! We’re about a week away from the official end of this project. Make sure you visit the... FUNDRAISER PAGE: http://gf.me/u/xifcz8 See more

20.01.2022 What a ruckus! Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos our pick of the week. Finally, there’s some good news for the iconic Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo. We’re thrilled at the... announcement that the Morrison Government is investing $3 million through its Environment Restoration fund to help in the recovery of this magnificent and Endangered species. While Carnaby’s can be found across quite a wide area of south-western Australia, their population has more than halved in recent decades largely due to the loss and fragmentation of their habitat. Photographer Lea Scaddan saw this flock of feeding Carnaby’s at Yanchep National Park and was struck by their noise and beauty. Christian Porter, the Federal Member of Pearce (an electorate where these cockies can be found), said that with the support of BirdLife Australia, five community organisations will now deliver practical, on-ground actions to help raise fledglings at nesting sites. These include revegetation and land management of black-cockatoo habitat and surveying, repairing and building of nesting hollows and structures. Through the combined efforts of more than 80 landholders and community groups, the projects are expected to assist in 1,800 extra fledglings joining the flock, Mr Porter said. It's an exciting step forward for threatened species conservation in WA.

09.01.2022 Hi Everyone! We wanna let you know that tomorrow, Thursday at 11am (Perth time), we will release the final video for this project! We hope that some of you can watch it as soon as we upload it! The video will wrap up the project as we watch it all put together! ... Also, we are still in contact with Little Creatures Brewing and we are still planning to hold our Community Keg Fundraiser whenever that becomes safe and possible sometime in the future! That was originally planned to take place in the beginning of April but was cancelled for obvious reasons regarding COVID-19. Proceeds from that event will add onto the funds we raise here at Cape to Cape Cocky Run. The announcement on the confirmation of that event will be the next time you will hear from this project/page in the future. We hope some of you guys can join us then! I’m the meantime, this will be the last week for this project and thank you all again for following this cause! We are extremely proud that we have raised $3,645 for the black cockatoos of Margaret River! THANK YOU. Stay safe and healthy everyone! -C2CCR Team

06.01.2022 Great news for our black cockatoos in the south west!

05.01.2022 When training was in full swing, we sought out beneficial insights and advise in regards to the risk of running the Cape to Cape Track. Dr. Olivier Girard from Murdoch University was kind enough to break it down for us. In hindsight, it’s definitely clear to see that the risks were in fact real! Luckily, we all made it out alive and live to tell about it! Later this week, we will hopefully see the full length video of the project! Stay tuned!
