Wheatbelt NRM Takes Biodiversity Conservation Global!

Since it's launch in June 2010, Wheatbelt NRM's Biodiversity Blog has been spreading the word about what's happening in the Avon's backyard to the rest of the globe!

But have you ever wondered who else is listening and watching what's happening here...?

A review of the visitor summary shows that about half of our 3000 visitors so far have been from Australia, while another quarter that amount are from the United States.

Fully one fifth of our visitors are from farther afield -India, France and Italy to name a few. They log-in from across the globe to look at great photos and read interesting stories about what's going on in places like Toodyay, Mukindudin or Corrigin. Or to find our more about our projects to protect threatened species or control Weeds of National Significance (WONS).
