The Red-tailed Phascogale in the agricultural landscape of the southern WA wheatbelt - distribution and conservation

We are working with the Wagin Woodanilling Landcare Zone to assess the distribution and status of Red-tailed Phascogale in an 1800 square kilometre area between Wagin and Dongolocking.  We are particularly Red-tailed Phascogale at Buchanan NR

Our knowledge of the distribution of phascogale throughout southern WA is being supplemented by a community atlas scheme, where community members are being encouraged to report their sightings.  A sightings form is available as a pdf.

Client: Wagin-Woodanilling Landcare Zone with funding from South West Catchment Council.
