If you live in or around the Clarence Valley or Bungawalbin, or plan to visit the area in October, the NSW Government's Saving our Species program invites you to be part of a vital mission to count and protect the region's endangered coastal emu population. NSW Department of Planning and Environment Threatened Species Officer Lia Hooper said the coastal emu is a genetically distinct population and these remarkable birds are found exclusively on the north coast of New South Wales. 'Formerly widespread across north-eastern New South Wales, coastal emus are now restricted to an area between Evans Head, Red Rock and Bungawalbin,' said Ms Hooper.
