Kangaroo Valley’s endangered rock-wallabies are on the road to recovery, thanks to a new Recovery Strategy recently launched by the Valley’s conservation charity, the Friends of the Brush-Tailed Rock-Wallaby.

The three-phase strategy aims to build a thriving meta population of rock-wallabies across the Shoalhaven so that the Kangaroo Valley rock-wallabies are no longer isolated…

• Phase One focuses on Saving the Species, safeguarding the current rock-wallaby colonies through predator control, monitoring and captive release.
• Phase Two is about Researching Possibility, identifying hidden populations of rock-wallabies and mapping potential new habitats.
• Phase Three will be Rebuild Populations, potentially establishing a string of interconnected new rock-wallaby colonies across the Valley and beyond.

The Friends of the Brush-Tailed Rock Wallaby are hoping that more KV locals who care about wildlife will join their Education & Community Awareness Team and get involved with the recovery effort.
