Shouldn’t Adelaide Zoo be concentrating on Australian endangered species?
Zoos SA remains committed to the conservation of Australian native species as demonstrated by our latest program for the black-flanked rock-wallaby, South Australia’s most endangered species. Only 60 are thought to remain in the wild. Our staff recently cross-fostered 14 joeys of this endangered species into the pouches of yellow-footed rock-wallabies, to help establish a new captive insurance population. For more information about our conservation and research programs, please review the conservation section of this website.
