Rock Wallaby

Added by Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa

In a remote part of Western Australia lives an endangered species of rock wallaby. Although known to the local Martu people, this population of endangered species was one of the last known populations in the Western Desert. Constantly hunted by feral predators, particularly wild cats and foxes, the rock wallabies were in danger of disappearing altogether.

This documentary shows rangers at work establishing a new colony of rock wallabies to help secure their survival for the future.
