The monitoring program by Australian Wildlife Conservancy aims to show conservation and cattle grazing can coexist if properly managed
cattle station are revealed. A long-eared bilby is caught mid-hop on a gibber plain, the name given to the densely packed rocks of the desert pavement. The eyes of an endangered kowari – a palm-sized carnivorous marsupial with a bottle-brush tail – glow an eerie white.
Kowari were photographed at each site, which Watson says is “a great indication that the population is widespread and doing relatively well”. The greater bilby was photographed at two sites and the plains-wanderer at none, though Watson is confident bio-acoustic recordings, which are yet to be analysed by new technology being developed at the Queensland University of Technology, will reveal the bird’s presence.
The pilot project, funded by the Queensland government’s threatened species research grants, was used to help refine the use of AI recognition software for both visual and aural diagnostics. An additional 60 monitoring sites have already been deployed across Napco stations.
