Management Project - EcoFire

AWC is addressing the problem of large destructive fires in the Kimberley through a regionally coordinated fire management project called EcoFire. The project is run from AWC’s base at Mornington Wildlife Sanctuary in the central Kimberley.

EcoFire reflects AWC’s commitment to improve land management on a regional scale, outside the boundaries of its sanctuaries. The project area includes 14 central and northern Kimberley pastoral, indigenous and conservation properties (covering almost 5 million ha), including Mornington and Marion Downs Wildlife Sanctuaries.
