CONSERVATION DONATION
QUOKKA DONATION
 

You can make a real difference to the conservation of Rottnest Island and ensure that the Island remains that special place we all love for its unique beauty and heritage.

A “Conservation Donation” will contribute directly to our major projects, including the Wadjemup Bidi, conservation of the Wadjemup Aboriginal Burial Ground and the Rottnest Island Woodland Management Plan.

With a “Quokka Donation” you are helping Rottnest Foundation support ongoing conservation projects that protect and preserve the habitat for Quokkas and ongoing quokka monitoring programs.
