Quolls in Quarantine to Fight Bird Flu
Description
Bird flu threatens to wipe out Australia’s rare eastern quolls at Mulligans Flat, so wildlife teams are building 16 quarantine pens as a last-ditch insurance plan to save the population from extinction. These elusive marsupials, already endangered and reliant on scavenging birds, face a deadly risk if the H5 strain spreads. The pens, designed with hidey holes and stocked with alternative meats, aim to isolate and protect quolls until the threat passes — a bold, high-stakes move to prevent another 60-year disappearance.
