Eastern quolls have been extinct on the Australian mainland for more than 50 years.
Quolls are small, spotted and fiercely cute marsupials who were native to southeast Australia. But foxes, disease and habitat destruction wiped them out on our mainland more than 50 years ago. However, on 13 March we managed to successfully relocate 20 eastern quolls to Boderee National Park in Jervis Bay.
WWF-Australia and our partners Rewilding Australia flew 20 eastern quolls from captive breeding facilities in Tasmania to Booderee National Park in Jervis Bay. They are the first of three groups of quolls we plan to relocate over the next three years - with your help.
Eastern quolls are also important predators. They used to be called 'farmer's friends' because they hunted agricultural pests, such as rats, mice and insects.
Without them around to keep these creatures in check, the entire ecosystem suffers.
By returning eastern quolls to the mainland, we can restore some ecological balance - and slow down the terrifying rate of mammal extinction in this country.
Your support is vital in getting eastern quolls back to a landscape they thrived in for hundreds of thousands of years. It's a landscape that needs them.
