The Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Protection Area on Kangaroo Island’s remote western end is of global significance and one of South Australia’s first wilderness areas ever protected.
The South Australian government’s plan to bulldoze over 30km of fire access tracks fragmenting this biodiversity hotspot will spread weeds and Phytophthora, expose small mammals to prey and encourage uncontrolled access. All of which could ultimately reduce the ecosystem's resilience and increase the risk of further species extinction.

The Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Protection Area on Kangaroo Island’s remote western end is of global significance and one of South Australia’s first wilderness areas ever protected.
The South Australian government’s plan to bulldoze over 30km of fire access tracks fragmenting this biodiversity hotspot will spread weeds and Phytophthora, expose small mammals to prey and encourage uncontrolled access. All of which could ultimately reduce the ecosystem's resilience and increase the risk of further species extinction.
It is critical that governments engage in genuine community consultation and consider advice and solutions put forward by non-government organisations and scientific experts, particularly given the seriousness of the extinction and climate crises.
Please email Deputy Premier and Minister for Climate, Environment and Water Susan Close today.
Together, we can stop the destruction of the last wilderness on Kangaroo Island.
