There have been six reintroduction attempts across Australia for the Red-tailed Phascogale in the last 15 years. One of these failed, and two others show little recapture success.

In conjunction with FAME’s groundbreaking partnership with the South Australian Department for Environment and Water (DEW) and SA Arid Lands Landscape Board (SAAL), PhD Candidate Tessa Manning will undertake an in-depth, multiyear study of released populations to improve our ability to successfully reintroduce the species to areas in which it has gone locally extinct.
