Improving the reintroduction success of mammals. This project intends to improve the anti-predator traits of mammals and reduce the population density of introduced predators, using a novel two-pronged approach to combat predation by introduced predators. Predation by cats and foxes is the chief cause of reintroduction failure in Australian mammals. This project will look to improve the reintroduction success of burrowing bettongs outside predator-free sanctuaries by exposing individuals to predators before release and by harnessing the suppressive effects of dingoes on introduced predators. Anticipated outcomes are improved re-introduction protocols for threatened mammals and re-established populations of endangered wildlife outside predator-free-sanctuaries.

提高哺乳动物的再引入成功率。该项目旨在改善哺乳动物的抗捕食特性，并减少引入捕食者的种群密度，使用一种新的双管齐下的方法来对抗引入捕食者的捕食。猫和狐狸的捕食是澳大利亚哺乳动物重新引入失败的主要原因。该项目将通过在释放前将个体暴露于捕食者以及利用野狗对引入捕食者的抑制作用，来提高无捕食者保护区外的穴居贝通的重新引入成功率。预期成果是改进受威胁哺乳动物的重新引入议定书，并在无捕食者保护区外重新建立濒危野生动物种群。
