Woylies reintroduced to Mallee Cliffs National Park

Following 12 months of careful planning, Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) in partnership with the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, as part of the Saving Our Species program successfully released 24 female and 30 male bettongs at Mallee Cliffs National Park in September last year.

The animals were captured at Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary in WA and flown on a special charter flight to Mallee Cliffs for release. The translocation is part of a large-scale partnership reintroduction project at Mallee Cliffs National Park where 10 locally-extinct mammal species will eventually be reintroduced and already include Bilbies, Numbats and Greater Stick-nest Rats.
