One of the more recent and highly signifi cant changes has been the increased focus on conservation-based outcomes. This focus is refl ected in the Zoo’s expanding community education programs, diverse research activities, local breeding-for-release programs, veterinary courses, wildlife rehabilitation, in situ conservation support and leading role in regional breeding programs. Initiatives undertaken in 2004-05 will see this commitment and contribution to conservation-based outcomes grow even further. The establishment of an on-site Reproductive Biology Unit – an Australasian fi rst – illustrates the Zoo’s desire to develop innovative collaborations with specialists from various fi elds to further the conservation of wildlife. The head of the unit, Dr Phillip Matson, brings with him more than 20 years experience in human fertility work and with his expertise in reproductive technologies we will achieve the goal of assisting threatened wildlife species. This unit is expected to contribute signifi cantly to the international body of knowledge about reproductive processes of threatened exotic species, just as the Zoo’s Native Species Breeding Program (NSBP) has done for threatened native species. The NSBP deservedly received further national recognition in 2004-05 for its contribution to species restoration and support of biodiversity in the wild through its Western Swamp Tortoise breeding-for- release program. Another highlight during the year was the opening of the fi rst major expansion of the African Savannah since its creation in 1991, with the unveiling of a new African Painted Dog exhibit and new savannah entrance. Using funds generated through sponsorships and fundraising, the African Painted Dog exhibit has provided another high level educational experience involving a critically endangered species with wonderful visitor viewing opportunities. The success of this initiative was due to the combined efforts of staff from many different areas of the Zoo including the sponsorship and fundraising, horticulture, keeping, facilities and education teams. Without doubt, the staff and volunteers at Perth Zoo have been and continue to be one of the greatest reasons for the Zoo’s achievements. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to have been involved with such dedicated people and such an important Western Australian institution for so many years. Thank you to everyone who has supported me in my role as a board member and Chairman. Best wishes for the future.

    Leading � rec�very Annual Report 2019–2020 TARONGA ANNUAL REPORT 2019–2020 A SHARED FUTURE � WILDLIFE AND PE�PLE At Taronga we believe that together we can find a better and more sustainable way for wildlife and people to share this planet. Taronga recognises that the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems are the life support systems for our own species' health and prosperity. At no time in history has this been more evident, with drought, bushfires, climate change, global pandemics, habitat destruction, ocean acidification and many other crises threatening natural systems and our own future. Whilst we cannot tackle these challenges alone, Taronga is acting now and working to save species, sustain robust ecosystems, provide experiences and create learning opportunities so that we act together. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect the world’s precious wildlife, not just for us in our lifetimes, but for generations into the future. Our Zoos create experiences that delight and inspire lasting connections between people and wildlife. We aim to create conservation advocates that value wildlife, speak up for nature and take action to help create a future where both people and wildlife thrive. Our conservation breeding programs for threatened and priority wildlife help a myriad of species, with our program for 11 Legacy Species representing an increased commitment to six Australian and five Sumatran species at risk of extinction. The Koala was added as an 11th Legacy Species in 2019, to reflect increasing threats to its survival. In the last 12 months alone, Taronga partnered with 28 organisations working on the front line of conservation across 17 countries.

Recovery plans outline the recovery actions that are needed to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. Recovery plans are a partnership between the Department of the Environment and Energy and the Department of Parks and Wildlife. The Department of Parks and Wildlife acknowledges the role of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the Department of the Environment and Energy in guiding the implementation of this recovery plan. The attainment of objectives and the provision of funds necessary to implement actions are subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. This recovery plan was approved by the Department of Parks and Wildlife, Western Australia. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in status of the taxon or ecological community, and the completion of recovery actions.

  • 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. Full assessment information Background information 2018 population trajectory assessment 1. Conservation status and taxonomy 8. Expert elicitation for population trends 2.

Measuring progress towards conservation The primary purpose of this scorecard is to assess progress against the year three targets outlined in the Australian Government’s Threatened Species Strategy, including estimating the change in population trajectory of 20 mammal species. It has been prepared by experts from the National Environmental Science Program’s Threatened Species Recovery Hub, with input from a number of taxon experts, a range of stakeholders and staff from the Office of the Threatened Species Commissioner, for the information of the Australian Government and is non-statutory.
