"Artemis Nature Fund" is evolving into "Conservation Partners"

Our work will remain the same: helping to conserve threatened wildlife mainly on private land. We will continue to work with Tom and Sue Shephard on Artemis Station. But we have two new projects that needed the support of a bigger, better structured organisation. (1) Searches for Buff-breasted Button-quail on Cape York and (2) Fire management and applied ecology on Chidna Station near Mount Isa.
