Synopsis
Dozens of black-footed rock-wallabies have been released into the wild for the first time as part of a decade-long recovery program in South Australia.
Synopsis
In the remote APY Lands of South Australia, the Warru Recovery Team was established in 2007 to combat the decline of the black-footed rock-wallaby. With fewer than 200 individuals remaining, the team integrates modern science with traditional Anangu ecological knowledge. Over a decade, they have implemented practical threat management strategies. Their efforts have led to the successful release of dozens of warru back into the wild, marking a significant milestone in the species' recovery.
