Wildlife researcher Dr Deane Smith has delved into the impacts of exclusion fencing on non-target species as part of his University of Southern Queensland PhD project, which included travel to Quilpie in south-west Queensland to explore the positive and negative effects of the man-made structures on colonies of yellow-footed rock-wallabies. Dr Smith said the fences had been established to remove pest species from the area, many of which were the wallabies’ natural predators and competitors.
