According to the NSW Parks and Wildlife Service "There are fewer than 200 Pied Oystercatcher breeding pairs estimated in NSW, as this endangered species faces multiple threats. The Pied Oystercatcher conservation project aims to keep predator numbers low, protect its habitat, reduce recreational impact, and install signage at major nesting sites."

The Last Pied Oystercatcher is an attempt to bring attention to this concern and potential loss of an incredible bird from South-East Australia.
