Zoos South Australia Annual Report 2011/12 17 Management level of species The ASMP management categories provide a framework for organising species management and planning at a regional level. These categories are designed to indicate the role or status of a taxon in the regional collection, whether or not regionally coordinated management is being applied, and if so at what intensity.

(see appendix 3)

During 2010, a simplification of the ASMP Species Management Categories was endorsed, reducing the number of categories by eliminating the management levels of the past. The new management categories are:

>> Conservation Program (CP) – involves a species that has a documented role in a formal recovery effort. Typically managed to a high level of genetic and demographic rigor. Typically, a Captive Management Plan would be developed Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby for the species in this category.

The completion of this feral proof fence will enable work on removing rabbits, cats and foxes to be more effective as new arrivals are stopped.

Zoos South Australia Annual Report 2011/12 19 Southern hairy- nosed wombats One of the key challenges for the southern hairy-nosed wombat is the conflict that can arise between landowners and wombats. Finding ways to resolve this conflict and have people and wombats being able to live together, has been the focus of work this year. This has seen our wombat researchers making visits to landowners across the state to find out if they have wombats on their property and how they live together, including any issues they face. This is also providing key information on where wombats are found and their numbers. This information is critical for making Australian Sea-Lion sure efforts are put in place early to stop them going the way of their critically endangered Northern cousins.

In April, Zoos SA embraced the opportunities presented by the National Business Water Efficiency Benchmark Project. This is a national partnership project with water utilities across Australia, the primary objective of the project is to develop sector and regional specific industry benchmarks for water consumption and efficiencies.

The breakdown of staff in relation to the discipline for which they are employed has altered slightly. This is largely due to a review of Departments and a migration of staffing between them. For example; movement of staff from Education into Science and Field into a dedicated Community Outreach capacity. Marketing now incorporates Interpretation and Graphic Design.

External grant funding has permitted some additional fixed term positions within both the Science and Field team and to additional traineeships and income generation opportunities have facilitated an increase in numbers participating in the Wild Africa Project.
