Odonata has managed programs for multiple threatened species. We have been instrumental in changing the extinction trajectory of both the Eastern Quoll and the Southern Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby, there are only 170 of these wallabies left in existence. Our work has down-listed the Eastern Barred Bandicoot from extinct in the wild to endangered, and also established Australia’s leading Bush Stone-curlew breeding program.Odonata has created a wealth of successful sanctuaries and nature based businesses.In 2022, we delivered the Victorian phase of the Great Australian Wildlife Search, one of the world’s largest citizen science projects, which used the latest eDNA technology to map the distribution of wildlife across the state.
