An investigation into the rapidly declining populations of critically endangered Carnaby’s cockatoos has uncovered how development has affected the native bird’s survival.

Curtin University law lecturer and biologist Dr Hugh Finn has called for a moratorium into logging in the Gnangara Pines plantation until the Carnaby’s population can be stabilised.

“If we want these birds to recover and be around for our kids and grandchildren, we need to think seriously about this loss of this food resource,” he told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings.
