The Fauna Watch project is being run by the City of Kwinana’s environment team to identify the presence of any rare or endangered animals.
It is monitoring fauna in nature reserves to obtain baseline information about the diversity of species in the city.
Mayor Carol Adams said the project would help the city become better informed about the true level of fauna diversity in Kwinana.

“The project will help us to better understand the diversity of species and identify any gaps in our portfolio of local wildlife.”
Kwinana residents are invited to complete an online survey about wildlife they have encountered in their area on the city’s website at www.kwinana.wa.gov.au
“This will help the city plan environmental activities for the community to enjoy such as workshops, bird walks and education sessions,” Cr Adams said.
The Fauna Watch project will run until the end of October 2017.
