A safe shelter for baby birds

Christmas Island National Park

This project delivered on its promise to support injured and orphaned birds at the Christmas Island National Park seabird rehabilitation facility.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the rehab facility was refurbished adequately to continue its mission. 

The original rehab facility was hastily built with community donations after a cyclone and remains the only one of its kind on Christmas Island. 

Donations helped provide materials and food to continue to rehabilitate vulnerable chicks such as the iconic Abbott’s booby chicks and improve the facility over time.

Public Statement from The National Parks Conservation Trust

To our Donors, Supporters and Partners,

After 6 years of supporting transformational projects in and around Australia’s six Commonwealth national parks, 60 marine parks and the Australian National Botanic Gardens, The National Parks Conservation Trust we will be ceasing operations on June 30, 2025.

This was not an easy decision. It comes after a thorough review of our mission, impact and sustainability in today’s philanthropic landscape. We are deeply proud of what we have achieved together.

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your donations and your thoughtful participation, which has made our work possible.

While The National Parks Conservation Trust will no longer operate as an organisation, our mission continues through the people and communities we’ve worked with across the Commonwealth national parks and marine parks.

As we wind down, we are committed to a responsible closure: we are ensuring all remaining funds and assets are distributed in line with our Deed and charitable purpose. Rest assured all current projects underway will be seen through to completion by Parks Australia. Honoring these commitments is a key priority for us during this period.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we’ve made a difference to the conservation of Commonwealth national parks and marine parks.

If you have any enquiries, please contact [email protected].

With deep appreciation,
Chair, Rhondda Dickson and all the Trustees
