The critically endangered Kangaroo Island Dunnart is currently the number one Australian mammal most at risk of imminent extinction.

The dunnart topped a Federal Government list of 113 species which require “urgent management intervention,” after 95% of the dunnart’s habitat was destroyed in catastrophic bushfires.

After a handful of survivors were detected on camera traps, AWC together with private landholders and Kangaroo Island Land for Wildlife swung into action, with help from the Australian Army.

We are pleased to report that we’ve now completed construction of a feral predator-proof fence around a 13.8 hectare critical refuge to help save the species. The next step is to extend this critical refuge - the species’ last hope for survival - into a larger 371 ha feral predator-free area.
