Abstract

The article discusses the successful relocation of black-flanked rock-wallabies from one region to another in Western Australia. The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) collaborated on this conservation effort, which involved capturing and flying 44 endangered wallabies to a new home at Kalbarri National Park. The translocation of these wallabies, along with feral animal control efforts, has helped revive the wallaby population in Kalbarri. The article also highlights the importance of the DBCA's Western Shield program in protecting native species from feral predators like foxes and feral cats. [Extracted from the article]
