Recovery plan for the brush-tailed rock-wallaby - Department of ...

Approved NSW Recovery Plan Brush-tailed rock-wallaby
reserves in the Central ESU. Ten of the reserves where it would appear that the species has
become extinct are in the Central or Southern ESUs, and only two are possibly in the Northern
ESU.
These figures reflect the decline and contraction of the species in the south of its range (Short
and Milkovits 1990). Details on the status of the BTRW in individual reserves are presented in
Table 4.
