Between a rock and a hard place: Management issues for the endangered brush-tailed rock-wallaby, 'Petrogale penicillata', in north-eastern New South Wales

Abstract

The endangered brush-tailed rock-wallaby (Petrogale penicillata) has declined significantly across its range in south-eastern Australia. Several catchments in north-eastern New South Wales (NSW) represent the last strongholds for the species in the wild. Appropriate management of these populations is of critical importance. This thesis outlines an investigation of the efficacy of current management of brush-tailed rock-wallabies in the Green Gully section of Oxley Wild Rivers National Park (OWRNP).
