Chapter 3: What’s the Big Deal?
Why save a small fungi eater? With a diet of >90% native truffles, #GilbertsPotoroo is one of the 2 most fungi-dependent mammals in the world. Its digging helps aerate soil, improves water penetration & it spreads fungi spores that are critical for vegetation health.

Chapter 2: Lost for 100 yrs then found
#GilbertsPotoroo was rediscovered at #TwoPeoplesBay on Dec 1st 1994, having last been recorded in the 1870s & thought extinct since 1909. Much has happened in the past nearly 31 years, a lot of ups & downs & hard work by many people, but it’s still hanging on
