Tasmanian Raptor Refuge
The Raptor Refuge Inc. (https://www.raptorrefuge.com.au/) is a not-for-profit organisation that reflects our dedication to caring and protecting Tasmania’s natural wildlife.
Objective(s):
I will donate part of the funds from sales of all raptor-related artworks, to assist the work of the Raptor Refuge (https://www.raptorrefuge.com.au), in Tasmania.
Birds of Prey Found in Tasmania include:
- Tasmanian Wedge-Tailed Eagle. ...
- Tasmanian Masked Owl. ...
- Southern Boobook. ...
- Peregrine Falcon. ...
- Grey Goshawk. ...
- White-bellied Sea Eagle. ...
- Collared Sparrowhawk. ...
- Brown Goshawk.
Background:
There are about 120 Wedge-tailed Eagle breeding pairs left in Tasmania, less than 110 pairs of Grey Goshawks and less than 200 pairs of White-bellied Sea Eagles. They are fighting against habitat destruction caused by coastal home development, boat accidents and collisions with power lines. Goshawks are also often shot to protect poultry.
