Exploring conservation efforts to protect the vulnerable Brush-Tail Rock Wallaby
We often hear about species of bandicoots, bilbies or quolls facing the risk of extinction… but did you know there are populations of Brush-Tail Rock Wallabies facing serious decline.
This Rock Wallaby subspecies is still relatively common in areas such as Southern Queensland, though in other regions of Australia… serious conservation efforts are now being done to protect this vulnerable marsupial from the numerous threats it faces.
4ZZZ's Toni Pankaluic spoke with Jessica Guidotti, Project Officer from the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland to learn more on protecting the Brush Tail Rock Wallaby as well as understanding the animal.

Another organisation devoted to ensuring the survival of the marsupial is Friends of the Brush-Tail Rock Wallaby, whose website features an array of helpful resources.
You can read up on a Draft National Recovery Plan for the Brush-Tail Rock Wallaby created by the Australian Government for a comprehensive overview on steps to help the animal. For a more recent report, you are able to check out this Conservation Advice also commissioned by the Federal Government.
