Conserving marsupials

Description

Conserving endangered species of marsupials involves implementing targeted habitat protection, controlling invasive predators, and supporting captive breeding and reintroduction programs. This strategy aims to stabilize and increase vulnerable populations by addressing threats such as habitat loss, disease, and competition. Practical actions include legal protection, habitat restoration, community engagement, and scientific monitoring to ensure the long-term survival and recovery of marsupial species at risk of extinction.

Context

There are at least 39 endangered and vulnerable species and 55 potentially vulnerable species in Australia, of which 2 are monotremes, that need some form of conservation action.
