The Gnaraloo Wilderness Foundation is a not-for-profit charity that stands for the natural environment at Gnaraloo, within and adjacent to the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area in Western Australia. Our focus includes native flora and fauna, on land and in the ocean, and the conservation of dark skies.
Protect our coastline and sea turtles
The Gnaraloo coastline is among the few remaining areas in the world where turtles can lay their eggs without disturbance. Protect sea turtles and their habitat by not driving on the beaches.
The Mystery of the Gnaraloo Sea Turtles
In 2015/16, our team scientists attached satellite trackers on the backs of ten females for the first time to plot their top-secret routes. Dive in and learn about life after the nesting beaches.
About Gnaraloo
Gnaraloo is adjacent to the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area and Ningaloo Marine Park in North Western Australia. It abuts 65 km of coastline, including southern parts of the Ningaloo Reef and 4 marine sanctuary zones.
Conservation efforts
The Gnaraloo Wilderness Foundation is dedicated to protect the landscape, associated habitats and all native flora and fauna species at Gnaraloo. Our conservation efforts support the third largest loggerhead turtle population in the world.
Educational programs
Community and schools may share in the research work of the Gnaraloo Wilderness Foundation through field excursions and free presentations. It’s a great chance to talk to field scientists and discover more about marine turtle conservation.
Keep Gnaraloo Wild
We deeply believe that Gnaraloo should stay as it is, wild and undeveloped, to protect its biodiversity and wilderness experience.
