Bandicoots
* Our new research shows humans have maligned bandicoots for decades, making them more vulnerable to extinction
"Tragically, since European colonisation, eight of the 15 existing bandicoot (Peramelidae) species have become threatened or gone extinct. The populations that remain have all declined in numbers due to pressures from invasive predators, such as cats and foxes, as well as habitat destruction. However, humans have also directly contributed to their decline." >>

"Our study shows that humans, as predators and persecutors, have negatively impacted bandicoot populations more than previously considered." >>

A burden to native wildlife
Sarcoptic mange is a parasitic skin disease affecting many Australian wildlife species. The burrowing mite creates tunnels under the skin affecting many Australian wildlife animals. "The mite is invasive to Australia and was likely introduced by European settlers and their domestic animals around 200 years ago.”

https://wildlifehealthaustralia.com.au/Portals/0/ResourceCentre/FactSheets/Mammals/Sarcoptic_mange_in_%20Australian_wildlife.pdf"The origins of sarcoptic mange in Australian native animals are poorly understood, with the most consistent conclusion being that mange was introduced by settlers and their dogs and subsequently becoming a major burden to native wildlife."

#Bilbies, #bandicoots, #bettongs, and #quolls are making a comeback on these arid plains! Australia has the highest mammal extinction rate globally, but the Wild Deserts program is working hard to reverse that, with a dedicated team of scientists leading the charge. #WildlifeConservation #AustralianAnimals #Biodiversity #Extinction #australia

#Backyard #bandicoots finally? Need to get the trail camera setup again. Haven't seen any in almost 5 years at this house.
