dogbesotted Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Victoria - Australian Government Coastcare Award The Warrnambool Coastcare Landcare Group and the Point Danger Committee of Management took out the Australian Government Coastcare Award for their work in the protection of the Middle Island and Portland penguin colonies. The project has contributed to the sustainable management as well as the increasing number and spread of penguin colonies. A Natural Resource Management student working with the group, who had experience with Maremma guardian dogs at a free-range chicken farm, suggested the approach to protect the penguins. Maremma guardian dogs are used to protect chicken and sheep in Australia. The project took a tried and true agricultural method and adapted it for conservation in what is believed to be a world first. Now maremma owners are well aware how fantastic our breed is ... but this is wonderful helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
