Bettongs

It’s the latest chapter in an evolving, historic comeback story. After disappearing from Guuranda (Yorke Peninsula) more than a century ago due to habitat loss and the spread of introduced predators, including foxes and feral cats, yalgiri (brush-tailed bettongs), one of Australia’s rarest marsupials are defying the odds on Narungga Country.

New monitoring and heartwarming images from the field have confirmed that wildlife at the centre of the Marna Banggara project’s tireless collaborative efforts are thriving. The population of yalgiri (brush-tailed bettongs) continues to grow in Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park - a promising sign for this ambitious initiative to restore lost native wildlife to southern Yorke Peninsula, South Australia.
