New efforts are currently underway to bring these marsupials back to Australia\u2019s shores.

Populations at this time were diminished greatly by a curious epidemic that killed off substantial numbers of their population before foxes and predators killed off the rest. Today, they are only found naturally in Tasmania. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">This time, though, the quolls will have a quite a few eyes watching and monitoring their progress to, hopefully, avoid another extinction level event for the small creatures. These efforts will be largely aided by the use of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/all+gps+tracking+products.html\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; color: #1155cc;\">GPS tracking<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\"> collars that will be attached to the quolls before they are released.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">These collars allow researchers to track the quolls, so they can know where they quolls are located, what kinds of habitats they\u2019re living in, and how they are reacting with other quolls. Attentive monitoring also allows research to learn more about what types of landscape offers the best protection for these creatures and how to keep their predators, like foxes and feral cats, at bay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">Why are quolls so important that Australia wants them back? According to Canberra Times, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canberratimes.com.au\/act-news\/quolls-to-be-reintroduced-to-the-mainland-in-the-wilds-of-booderee-20171223-h09qiv.html\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; color: #0563c1;\">quolls are considered ecosystem \u201cregulators\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">. They eat a variety of insets and small mammals, keeping these populations under control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">The key for making this project successful lies in giving quolls their best shot at survival. This means offering habitats that foster success, limiting exposure, at least initially, to predators, and providing them with the tools they need to flourish. Fortunately, we already know the eastern quoll can survive in the Australian landscape \u2013 as they have done so in decades past. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">The project to track the quolls is being largely <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canberratimes.com.au\/act-news\/quolls-to-be-reintroduced-to-the-mainland-in-the-wilds-of-booderee-20171223-h09qiv.html\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; color: #0563c1;\">financed by crowdfunding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">, which has currently only raised the funds for 13 of the 20 trackers needed to sufficiently track the first round of settlers.
