AWC in Conversation with Georgie Anderson: Reintroducing the Western Quoll to Mt Gibson 

With white spots and sharp teeth, quolls are the feisty marsupial predators of the Australian bush. Before foxes decimated their populations, the Western Quoll (or Chuditch) was the most widespread marsupial carnivore, hunting across nearly 70% of the continent.
Now, the Chuditch is making a comeback. It is one of ten species that’s been reintroduced to Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, AWC’s record-setting rewilding project in the West Australian Wheatbelt. A colossal effort is being put into sustained feral animal control and the quolls are being monitored from above with radio tracking drones.
Georgie Anderson is AWC's Senior Field Ecologist leading the translocation program at Mt Gibson Sanctuary. She joins us for an update after a third release of Chuditch this month.
