🦘 From the brink… to recovery.

After the 2019–20 bushfires, the endangered Kangaroo Island dunnart was at serious risk of extinction. More than 90% of its habitat was lost.

But here’s the incredible part 👇

📸 Since then, thousands of detections have been recorded across the island
📍 The species is now being found in more than 100 locations
🛖 New tools like artificial refuges are helping provide shelter while habitat recovers

This is real progress — and it’s happening right here on Kangaroo Island 💚

The Kangaroo Island Landscape Board has been leading the on-ground effort — working with partners and the community to monitor, protect and support the recovery of this unique species.

This research was conducted by the Kangaroo Island Landscape Board in collaboration with the National Environmental Science Program (NESP), with support from WWF-Australia’s Eyes on Recovery program, Zoos South Australia and the SA Government

👉 It’s proof that with the right action, we can make a difference.

This is yesterday’s pile of weeds from 1 bed of roses at Lloyd Collins Reserve. Shows how they grow after a bit of rain and not enough recent volunteering time!
Another (worse) bed to go.
