Kokatha

Arid Recovery is on the country of the Kokatha people. Kokatha country extends north of Port Augusta, bounded by Lake Torrens to the east and the Gawler Ranges to the west. We recognise the enduring relationship they have with their country and pay our respects to Elders past, present and future.

Year of the Quoll

2018 was a big year. After two years of trials and research, it was time to officially reintroduce Western Quolls to the Arid Recovery Reserve. In May, it happened. 12 quolls made the journey back to the outback, eight females and four males.

Meet the Kowari

What if I told you there was an animal like no other? An animal the size of your hand that pronks like a gazelle, has a tail that’s half antenna/half paintbrush, smells like a mop and has a wet button nose the colour of a rose?

The end of the Western Barred Bandicoot?

Don’t worry, it’s not extinct, but a new study by the WA Museum says that the Western Barred Bandicoot isn’t who we thought it was. This new study looked at the morphometrics and genetics of museum specimens and concluded that what has been known as the “Western Barred Bandicoot” is in fact five different species.

Reporting on failures

Arid Recovery’s ambitious goal is to see vulnerable native animals restored to Australia’s vast open landscapes, out of fences and roaming freely. To make any headway in this ambition it is essential to try new things, but this of course comes with risks.
