Explore the ecosystems of picturesque Kangaroo Island with resident biologists at Pelican Lagoon Research and Wildlife Centre.  Set in near pristine woodland this world renowned research centre is a model of sustainable living and learning.

Immerse yourself in nature and embark on a hands-on journey in scientific research. Each season researchers and volunteers follow the cycle of plants and animals with special surveys for endemic flora, native mammals, birds, invertebrates and native saurians (lizards). Volunteers contribute to national data bases, expand scientific knowledge and discover new information about the day to day life of native species. Activities vary from season to season and typically include field surveys, monitoring animal behaviour, plant and animal identification, radio tracking, data recording, GPS function and mapping.

Kangaroo Island is a special place to explore inhabited by wallabies, echidnas, kangaroos, sea lions, reptiles, little penguins, 130 species of birds, and 50 species of orchids. Discover secret island hideaways, interact with local researchers and contribute to this important research centre.
