Karakamia Sanctuary

It is located within the jarrah forest of the Darling Scarp and is owned and managed by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC).

Karakamia was originally purchased by Martin Copley in 1991 and established as a sanctuary in 1992, effectively the founding property of the AWC.

[2] Karakamia is managed to exclude exotic predators and herbivores, and a vermin-proof fence now surrounds the property.

These include the woylie, quenda, tammar wallaby, quokka, numbat and western ringtail possum.

[3] Ecosystems include a variety of forest and woodland types: as well as jarrah forest, Karakamia contains marri, wandoo, and blackbutt woodland, as well as areas of heathland and shrubland, with a flooded gum and sedge community along the streams.
