Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Clearing of forests for agriculture, urban development, and infrastructure projects has severely reduced and fragmented the habitat available for Spotted-tailed Quolls.

Introduced Predators: Predators such as foxes and feral cats are major threats, preying on both adult quolls and their young.

Vehicle Strikes: The nocturnal behaviour of the quoll, coupled with their need to cross roads, leaves them vulnerable to being hit by vehicles, especially in areas with high traffic.

Competition for Food: Increased competition for food sources, particularly from other carnivorous species introduced to Australia, further stresses the quoll population.

Loss of Shelter: Habitat degradation from logging, fire, and land clearing reduces the availability of shelter and nesting sites for quolls.

Captive Breeding Programs: Aussie Ark is developing an insurance population through captive breeding programs to ensure the long-term survival of the species, allowing for potential future reintroductions into the wild.

Research and Monitoring: Aussie Ark conducts ongoing research to monitor the Spotted-tailed Quoll population, track their movements, and assess the effectiveness of conservation programs.

Public Education and Advocacy: Raising awareness about the importance of Spotted-tailed Quolls and the threats they face is central to Aussie Ark’s advocacy efforts, encouraging local communities and stakeholders to engage in conservation practices.
