Four Numbats are one step closer to their wild release! 🌿
Last week, these adorable little marsupials were fitted with radio tracking collars in preparation for their next big adventure.
The Numbats were born in January through our collaborative-breed-for-release program and have been maturing behind-the-scenes under the watchful eyes of our dedicated science staff.
Now that they are nearly one-year-old, it’s almost time for them to go wild!
We’d like to say a big thank you to our conservation partner Project Numbat for providing these collars – this crucial equipment means researchers can keep track of the Numbats' movements and breeding activity.
Data like this is super valuable and helps make our collaborative breed-for-release program as impactful as possible.
In the coming weeks, we’ll work with our friends at DBCA’s Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia to get these endangered native animals out into safe habitat.
Species-saving work like this can only be successful with great teams, and we’re lucky to work with some of the very best 🙌
Stay tuned for more updates to come!
