With more reserves planning reintroductions of western quolls in the next few years, careful ongoing management is needed to balance these dynamics in fenced reserves.
Hearing inspiring anecdotes from urban ecologists like @HollyKirk@dieterhochuli at #ESAus23 about the importance of kids connecting to nature for their development, has really affirmed my passion as a ranger at the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Gardens.

Australia has a lot of fenced reserves for threatened species. But what happens to those critters when you reintroduce native predators? Ben Stepkovitch breaking down some cool work from @AridRecovery#ESAus2023#ESAus23#wildoz

Populations of northern quolls naturally fluctuate on Groote Eylandt in absence of outside threats - may not always be cause for concern when populations drop on mainland
