The research to establish this enclosure is based on a decade of work researching, planning and supporting biodiversity restoration in the Forest to Stirlings region of Gondwana Link. A scientific and technical advisory committee is guiding the project. The proposal aims to securely fence a carefully selected 110 ha bush-land area on Balijup farm near Tenterden WA. This farm has an area of 919 ha of which 585 ha are under remnant vegetation or re-vegetation and a further 102 ha are wetlands. Bushland on the property was covenanted under the State Government‟s clearing ban legislation for the Upper Kent catchment in the 1980s. The landowning family has agreed to develop a legally binding agreement to safeguard public investment and involvement in this fauna conservation initiative. The main vegetation types in the enclosure area include Jarrah forest, Wandoo woodland, Flat Topped Yate woodland and Mallee vegetation communities. Green Skills has worked with the landowning family since 2010 to assist with fencing off all the bush-land on the property, to undertake biological survey and ecological mapping, undertaking feral bee colony surveys and eradication, and wetland assessments. After careful consideration it has been decided to choose a floppy top fence 1.8m high with 450 mm apron on the ground either side of the fence to prevent cats and foxes from entering and wildlife from leaving. Early stages of the project involve funding and installing the fence, removal of Western Grey kangaroos, foxes and cats, and baseline fauna and vegetation monitoring. This will be followed by the reintroduction of Quenda (Southern Brown Bandicoot) with the aim of establishing a breeding colony of this species. Careful monitoring and management of Quenda populations would be undertaken with the aim of relocating groups of individuals when numbers have built up sufficiently. Relocation sites within Balijup and elsewhere along Gondwana Link corridor, will be prioritized based on levels of predator control, habitat suitability, ongoing management capability and other factors. Key management objectives for the project include to: 1) provide a vermin free, high quality bushland enclosure to facilitate scientifically based monitoring and research to be conducted on forest ecosystem and native fauna recovery following cat and fox removal. 2) establish a viable breeding colony of Quenda (Southern Brown bandicoot) in the enclosure, that would provide a source of animals for re-establishing other populations on the property and in the district. 3) establish a „citizen science‟ community-based monitoring program at Balijup to study the management benefits of i) re- establishing Quenda as a soil burrowing marsupial in ecosystem functioning and ii) other ecological benefits of feral predator removal. 4) establish the enclosure as part of biodiversity facilities and resources at Balijup that would help service the demand for ongoing collaborative environmental education and scientific programs in the Great Southern. The intention is for the facility to inspire adults and youth, both regional and local, to expand local and regional support for biodiversity restoration programs across the Gondwana Link area. 5) provide a site to facilitate long term collaborative scientific research in ecological studies and restoration that supports the ongoing implementation of the Conservation Action Plan for the Gondwana Forests to Stirlings area. Conservation targets include Jarrah/Marri forest, Wandoo woodland, the Upper Kent and North Stirlings wetland suites, Brush-tailed Wallaby, Carnaby‟s Cockatoo, Stirling Range Outliers and Proteaceous rich vegetation see http://www.greenskills.org.au/pub/gl/ncp.html Other conservation priority species considered for possible reintroduction to Balijup in the future include Tammar Wallaby, Brush Tailed Phascogale, Western Ring tailed Possum and Brush tailed Possum (with Woylie, Black Gloved Wallaby and other fauna species also assessed but of much less likely suitability for the BFCE). The current project proposal is based on the technical advisory committee‟s advice that it would be best for the Balijup project to focus on demonstrating the conservation and community engagement benefits of fox and cat control, reintroducing Quenda (Southern Brown Bandicoot) and to establish the associated fauna and vegetation monitoring programs with particular focus on investigating the forest conservation benefits of re-establishing native soil burrowing animals. The project forms part of a bigger fauna conservation effort in Forest to Stirling including fox control programs. The BFCE project complements an additional project on the Brush Wallaby, which Gillamii Centre is currently surveying the distribution of across the subregion and which NRM groups including Green Skills are installing Wallaby friendly gates in fences designed to prevent stock accessing remnant bushland while still allowing Wallaby movement. 3 Introduction South Western Australia faces critical conservation challenges in conserving small to medium sized marsupial mammals species, as well as a range of threatened bird species. One of the most pressing threatening processes is predation by feral animals particularly introduced foxes and cats. Around Australia and including WA, there are a number of projects demonstrating the usefulness of feral predator proof enclosures in native fauna conservation. This project proposal involves Green Skills (www.greenskills.org.au) coordinating the funding and establishment of a „fauna enclosure‟ project on Balijup. This proposal would involve a feral predator proof fence of 4.19 km in length to be installed around 109.8 ha of bushland in the north eastern section of the property. The proposal is that it would be funded through grants and by donations and in addition to establishment of the Enclosure itself, the project includes a longer term planning, for scientific research, community education and engagement, fauna introductions, monitoring maintenance, feral animal control, and relocation.

  • Numbat Myrmecobius Fasciatus
    Threatened Species Strategy – Year 3 Priority Species Scorecard (2018) Numbat Myrmecobius fasciatus Key Findings Numbats were once widespread across mainland Australia but declined to only ~300 individuals in WA by the late 1970s, primarily due to predation by foxes and habitat loss, as well as predation by feral cats, and frequent and intense fires. Long term control of introduced predators and careful fire management increased populations, enabling translocations to other sites to re-establish Numbats in parts of their former range, firstly in WA and more recently in SA and NSW. These intensive and long-term recovery efforts have increased the total population to over 1300 individuals. Photo: Alexander Dudley Significant trajectory change from 2005-15 to 2015-18? Yes, rate of increase has improved. Priority future actions • Maintain existing fenced populations and develop plan for metapopulation management. • Intensify feral cat control at all established populations (outside of fences). • Establish further populations across range.
