Black Cockatoos

Western Australia’s sky is home to the call of the black cockatoo. The Baudin’s, Carnaby’s and Red-tailed Black Cockatoos (or Karak in Nyoongar language) are icons of the Australian bush, but all three species are now endangered. Their decline in numbers tells a bigger story about habitat loss, climate change and the choices we make about our forests and landscapes. Monica Main learns more about the plight of the black cockatoo with University of Western Australia adjunct research fellow Dr Christine Groom while Danae Gibson speaks with life-long environmental activist and independent documentary film maker Jane Hammond about ways we can work to save this unique species.
