In animal welfare news, the world’s rarest marsupial is being saved through translocation.
The Gilbert’s Potoroos is a critically endangered mammal native to Australia. Moving a number
of the precious animals from small areas in Western Australia’s south coast to other
sites is being shown to be successful in helping to preserve the species. The change in habitat,
which was initiated by the Department of Environment and Conservation of Western Australia, has
also given scientists the opportunity to monitor the Gilbert’s Potoroos’s behavior. This
information will help them in selecting other potential locales to help the lovely marsupials
to thrive.
A grateful salute, Department of Environment and Conservation of Western Australia, for
your efforts in preserving the Gilbert’s Potoroos. May all treasured species be protected
and blessed with secure and peaceful homes.�
