Fact Sheet Two

Quoll Seekers Network

WHAT IS IT?

It is a community-based volunteer group, facilitated by Nature Search and Threatened Species Network. We are interested in the well being of the quolls in southeast Queensland.

 AIM OF THE NETWORK

The group’s aim is to:

• Raise community awareness of quolls existence, status, threatening processes and community members potential for practical contribution to conservation of the species;
• Gather information on recent sightings to facilitate better management;
• Provide a central point for collection, collation and dispersal of information relating to quolls in SEQ to interested parties and the wider community;
• Target most relevant groups including rural and semi rural land holders, relevant state government agencies, local government and community groups.

 HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Today, we humans have vast amount of knowledge of the plight of our wildlife yet, despite this knowledge, we continue to threaten and lead many species to extinction ¹. Here are some ways to prevent the extinction of these species:

• Create a quoll proof fence (refer to Fact Sheet Four)
• Keep your cats and dogs in a closed fence
• Report any sightings
