Arid Nature Corridor - Species conservation in South Australia's arid zone - Stage 1

The Arid Recovery Reserve is considered one of the most important areas for the nationally listed Plains Mouse, Burrowing Bettong, Greater Bilby and Western Barred Bandicoot. To date feral control undertaken inside the Arid Recovery Reserve has proved highly successful. Enhancement of habitat condition around the Reserve will create corridors and allow natural dispersal of native mammals and management of re-introduced species. This project will take proven methods of feral control and species conservation and build on prior and current research to ensure the highest chance of success for the dispersal of species and build capacity within the local community to continue complementary NRM programs.
