"Dozens of plants and animals at risk of extinction are doing better with their
numbers stable or growing, according to an Australian-first study of threatened
species in NSW national parks.
More than a third of the 101 threatened species studied for the first NSW
National Parks and Wildlife Service Threatened Species Status Report were
heading in the right direction as of 2022/23.
The population of 23 species had improved, 13 had stabilised, six plant
populations had declined and the remaining 59 were undetermined, according to
the report released on Saturday to coincide with National Threatened Species
Day.
The number of endangered yellow-footed rock wallabies doubled to 144 in the two
years to 2022, which the report suggested may be linked to higher rainfall over
that time.
Several extinct species reintroduced into parks also increased including three
types of bilby, two types of bettong, bandicoots and a numbat.
Authorities used camera traps, acoustic monitors and vegetation surveys to come
up with the findings, intended to be the first instance of regular reporting on
the issue."
