The PBDCG is dedicated to the conservation of Pacific Black Ducks in Tasmania through education, advocacy, habitat rehabilitation and Mallard management.
Cross-breeding with domestic mallard ducks is the PBDs biggestthreatin Tasmania. This hybridisation has lead to the extinction or near-extinction of PBDs on Macquarie, Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands as well as both New Zealand’s main islands and smaller offshore islands.
