Extracted from: Richards J.D. & Short J. (2003) Reintroduction and establishment of the western barred bandicoot Perameles bougainville (Marsupialia: Peramelidae) at Shark Bay, Western Australia.
The western barred bandicoot Perameles bougainville became extinct on mainland Australia in the late 1920’s or 1930’s, and has since persisted on Bernier and Dorre islands in Shark Bay, Western Australia.
In this study, the effectiveness of a soft-release reintroduction programme of western barred bandicoot to a predator-free refuge on Heirisson Prong spit, which is connected to the mainland, is evaluated.
