A generous donation of over $120 million from Australian philanthropists Alexandra and Julian Burt, through their Wright Burt Foundation, is set to bolster conservation efforts across the country. The funding will support 10 environmental organizations, with key initiatives focusing on protecting endangered species, restoring habitats, and expanding conservation programs. Among the recipients is BirdLife Australia, which will receive $10 million to aid in the recovery of the critically endangered Western Ground Parrot (Kyloring), believed to number fewer than 180 remaining in the wild. The wider commitment will also fund land acquisition, ecosystem restoration, and scientific research aimed at expanding protected habitats and strengthening the recovery of threatened native species. The donation could potentially save this rare parrot from extinction. Other beneficiaries include Australian Wildlife Conservancy, Bush Heritage Australia, Greenpeace, Great Southern Land Conservancy, Aussie Ark, Conservation Partners, Great Barrier Reef Foundation, Rainforest Rescue, and South Endeavour Trust. The donation will be distributed among these organizations, with amounts varying from $5.33 million to $25 million per organization.
