Kangaroo Island's ongoing recovery

On 20 December 2019, Kangaroo Island in South Australia – a refuge for some of the country’s most endangered species – was in the throes of summer

it was pretty clear to us the impacts for threatened species on the island was going to be pretty massive. if you see just the fire ripping through the habitat and taking everything away, it's like a massive habitat loss, just like that, the click of a — heartbeat, really. the dunnart is pretty distinctive. it runs along here, in front of this camera trap, and the camera will detect the movement and then take a series of photos. and this was what worried him the most. the fate of the endangered kangaroo island dunnart, a tiny marsupial. when you have species like the kangaroo island dunnart, that's only found here, there are none on mainland australia, not on any other islands, not in captivity, and they only live in this really small location — if you have a fire that comes through and takes them all out, takes out the habitat, you don't really know how that species

a rescue plan was hatched to secure remaining populations. and within months, the western river refuge was created — almost 400 hectares of habitat protected with a cat exclusion fence that ecologists hope will become a sanctuary for the dunnarts and other species. because of that effort and because of the funding and the resources that have gone into the kangaroo island dunnart, we know more about the dunnart than we ever have, because of the bushfire, which i guess is a bit of a silver lining. and what we've seen from that is that we have found dunnarts in a lot more locations than we previously have. and it's notjust dunnarts which have survived. this is a possum, a brushtail possum. yep. it's very, very nice to sort of see these guys, burrowing down and have sort of survived, or moved along in different areas.

patches of unburnt vegetation, here was right on the edge where fire stopped. kangaroo island wildlife researcher pat hodgins remembers the fear which gripped him in the days which followed. it was pretty clear to us the impacts for threatened species on the island was going to be pretty massive. if you see just the fire ripping through the habitat and taking everything away, it's like a massive habitat loss, just like that, the click of a — heartbeat, really. the dunnart is pretty distinctive. it runs along here, in front of this camera trap, and the camera will detect the movement and then take a series of photos. and this was what worried him the most. the fate of the endangered kangaroo island dunnart, a tiny marsupial. when you have species like the kangaroo island dunnart, that's only found here, there are none

with that tiny success, a rescue plan was hatched to secure remaining populations. and within months, the western river refuge was created — almost 400 hectares of habitat protected with a cat exclusion fence that ecologists hope will become a sanctuary for the dunnarts and other species. because of that effort and because of the funding and the resources that have gone into the kangaroo island dunnart, we know more about the dunnart than ever, because of the bushfire, which i guess is a bit of a silver lining. and what we've seen from that is that we have found dunnarts in a lot more locations than we previously have. and it's notjust dunnarts which have survived. this is a possum, a brushtail possum. yep. it's very, very nice

and the resources that have gone into the kangaroo island dunnart, we know more about the dunnart than ever, because of the bushfire, which i guess is a bit of a silver lining. and what we've seen from that is that we have found dunnarts in a lot more locations than we previously have. and it's notjust dunnarts which have survived. this is a possum, a brushtail possum. it's very, very nice to sort of see these guys, burrowing down and have sort of survived, or moved along in different areas. tiny little pygmy possums, which you would never think would be able to survive such an intense fire. in the aftermath of the fires, anything that managed to survive the inferno faced a new threat on the charred landscape: feral cats. with so many species already pushed to the brink, a battle is now underway to remove them from the fragile environment.
