Description

Booderee National Park has been controlling foxes in the park for 20 years. In that time, several attempts have been made to reintroduce locally extinct species. These include the eastern quoll – a priority species under the Australian Government’s Threatened species action plan 2022–2032. Sadly, the success of these reintroduction programs has been repeatedly hampered by fox incursions and subsequent catastrophic predation.

We’re providing improved local data and broader ecological knowledge about foxes. This will help park managers and local Traditional Owners develop tailored management interventions for the park and apply best-practice fox management in the medium term to long term.

This is a collaborative project, involving on-ground work by hub researchers, national park managers and local Wreck Bay Bherwerre Rangers. As part of the project, rangers will be trained in the use of VHF telemetry equipment, animal handling and camera trapping. The involvement of Bherwerre Rangers will link to other hub initiatives, including the ‘Indigenous monitoring platform’ project.

Description

To address the challenges of fox predation preventing the reintroduction of native species, this project is:

  • reviewing fox management efforts within Booderee National Park
  • using satellite-enabled telemetry collars fitted to local foxes to understand their behaviour
  • measuring the success of local control programs
  • designing and implementing refined camera-trapping designs
  • training local managers and Traditional Owners in key management activities relevant to the research.
