Fiona, Tracy, Oakley, and Rex recently returned from a huge week of surveying in the Sturt Stony Desert, SA. It was a great initial deployment with @TeamKowari & @Sydney_Uni that provided a promising insight into how conservation detection dogs can assist with kowari research.

@kenwinkel @theUL Yes indeed it's the Horn Expedition. The text is from page 39.

There's something magical about a Rare Books Room. Here's an 1894 expedition report where Europeans first met kowaris (awesome carnivorous #marsupials). Zoologist Baldwin Spencer credits a telegraph operator for his specimens, but in truth they were collected by Aboriginal women.

Thanks for sharing Jack. So much of that history is hidden. @TeamKowari

❓ Can you tell the difference? ❓ In the lead up to our @TeamKowari deployment we’ve been doing some scent discrimination training with rat scat. Kowari & rat scats looks very similar. Lucky for us though, Rex and Oakley’s noses can tell the difference! #conservationdogs

Exciting news from @AridRecovery! This will be the first time that Kowaris are protected in a feral-free Safe Haven. Good news for both their conservation and our ability to research them 👏
A new species is to be reintroduced to Arid Recovery - the Kowari. This spunky pint-sized micropredator lives on the gibber plains of NE SA and has a 20% chance of extinction in 20 years. We hope to improve the Kowari's prospects by protecting it in our🐱& 🦊 free safe haven.

Lots of work to do before Kowaris can be reintroduced though. Many kms of fences to be modified to be cat and rabbit proof, and ferals removed.
