other animals, included snake-necked turtles, yabbies, rakali, ducks and black swans. Flora included the native orchid (leek orchid), guinea flower and swamp wattle (Wirilda). Ecology and conservation The swamps of the Fleurieu Peninsula were listed as critically endangered under the EPBC Act in 2003; however, there is no adopted or made recovery plan for this ecological community, only "Approved Conservation Advice" (2013). Less than four percent of the original swampland remain today. A group that includes Aboriginal elders and scientists are documenting Aboriginal cultural knowledge for the Fleurieu Peninsula swamps at Yundi, which is about south of Adelaide. The Yundi Nature Conservancy, containing about of swamp, is south-east of McLaren Vale, near Mount Compass. There, Ngarrindjeri elders and scientists from various disciplines share their knowledge and plan for rewilding some more of the peninsula. A seed bank has been created to this end.
