The Fauna Research Alliance will undertake urgent research to help improve conservation efforts to save our threatened wildlife. FAUNA Research Alliance's overall mission is to produce the robust tools needed for innovative longterm solutions for the conservation challenges faced by our unique wildlife. Our aim is to bring together knowledge, resources and practical experience, in what is otherwise a highly fragmented field, to address national gaps and challenges in wildlife conservation and to provide the capacity and comprehensive solutions needed to halt ongoing declines and to rebuild healthy selfsustaining ecosystems. We do this work through applied research projects that draw together, in collaboration, the diverse skills and capacities of researchers, communities and organisations across Australia. In our three program areas, our projects throughout 2021/2022 were: Rewilding for Resilience Wombat Management influence of rainfall and drought on the SHNW South Australian Wallaby Populations Scat Genomic Analysis Telemetry Network SYP a monitoring system for Marna Banggara rewilding Brushtailed Bettong Reintroduction analysis of a soil engineer at Marna Banggara Priority Koala Populations Drone Monitoring in NSW Wildlife People and the Economy BIOMES a community education and outreach exhibition in 2021 Port Stephens Koalas a survey of local knowledge and community attitude New Technology for Wildlife Kimberly Ark biobanking for cane toad recovery Wildlife Biobanking analysis of the benefits for captive breeding programs Koala Assisted Reproduction Technologies a strategy for future management
