'Insurance policy' hoping to protect quolls if bird flu arrives in ACT

A sanctuary in Canberra is taking proactive measures to safeguard its population of endangered eastern quolls against the potential threat of bird flu, which could devastate the region's wildlife. With bird flu's potential arrival in the ACT, officials are devising an insurance policy to ensure the survival of these vulnerable animals. This move highlights the broader challenges in protecting native species from both natural and man-made threats, emphasizing the need for comprehensive conservation strategies. The initiative underscores the importance of preparedness in wildlife management to mitigate the impact of diseases like bird flu.
