We often hear about species of bandicoots, bilbies or quolls facing the risk of extinction… but did you know there are populations of Brush-Tail Rock Wallabies facing serious decline.

However in other Australia states their situation is dire. Now conservation efforts are being done to protect this vulnerable marsupial from the numerous threats it faces.
