Consumptive hunting: A passion that fuels conservation efforts

Victoria's wetlands are not just bodies of water but cherished landscapes thanks to the stewardship of volunteer hunters who invest time, effort, and resources into their care – unlike in NSW where recent news stories have painted a very different picture.

FGA supports orange-bellied parrot program but condemns overreach of minister

Field & Game Australia fully supports the captive breeding and release of orange-bellied parrots, and has previously had involvement with the release program. The parrots have been released successfully for the past five years at Connewarre Wetlands – yet this year the ministers deem a closure of the site to be neccessary. FGA could have supported a strategic closure of particular points close to release sights – but the closure of the entire SGR is heavy handed and a gross overreach.
