How many individuals from your species exist in nature

at this time?
The historical decline in numbers of your species
Any interesting events that may have occurred this
century that relate to the geographic range of your
species
Whether and where any individuals of your species are
being held in captivity
The main reason(s) why your species is endangered.

In nature, the Eastern barred Bandicoots are found in Victoria and

Tasmania. They are extinct in South Australia. There are between 150-200
bandicoots in Victoria and they are considered common in Tasmania but
there is no census data for the population of the eastern barred bandicoot
in Tasmania.

Bandicoots were once widespread across grasslands and grassy woodlands of western Victoria and
South Australia. By 1991, the subspecies was on the brink of extinction, primarily due to
habitat loss and predation by introduced foxes and cats. Bandicoots were once widespread

In the past, Bandicoots were found across grasslands and grassy woodlands of
Western Victoria and South Australia. Since European settlement,
however, the species has undergone a widespread, sustained and
catastrophic decline in range and abundance on the mainland. By 1991,
the species were on the brink of extinction in Western Victoria and South
Australia because of habitat loss and predation from introduced foxes and
cats
The Eastern Barred Bandicoots are undergoing captive breeding from the last
known population at Hamilton. Zoos Victoria is conducting captive
breeding programs and so plays a role in the recovery of the Eastern
barred Bandicoot

What are humans doing to try to save endangered animals?

In this last lesson, it is up to you to do the following:

Find out what attempts are being made to conserve your
endangered animal.
Use the information you gained at Healesville and use the internet
to try to find out the following:
Which organisations are actively working to conserve
your species, eg Melbourne Zoo? (visit their website).
What are these organisations doing? For example,
captive breeding programs, habitat management,
predator control, pollution concerns, release of
organisms into the natural habitat, etc
Is there any community involvement (people from the
general community)?
Where any funding for the conservation program(s) is
coming from and what obstacles to funding might exist
How successful the conservation program for your
species has been for example, include data on
numbers of organisms and whether the conservation
program has increased those numbers.
