Boodie abode: Australia's Faure is an island of good news for boodies, bandicoots, and banded hare wallabies
Article Abstract:
Australia's Faure island was chosen by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy as the release site of five highly endangered species because the island is free from predators that are common on the mainland. The five species are the banded hare wallaby, the Shark Bay mouse, the greater stick-nest rat, the boodie, and the western barred bandicoot. 135 plant species and 23 reptile species are also found on the island.
