Good news: conservation works when it targets the real cause. Here are proven actions and the evidence behind them.
| Action | How it helps | Evidence it works |
|---|---|---|
| Predator-proof fences | Keeps out feral cats & foxes | Inside fenced reserves, bilbies & bettongs have bounced back |
| Captive breeding | Builds numbers safely, then releases | The eastern barred bandicoot was saved from extinction this way |
| Habitat restoration | Replants food & shelter | Revegetated corridors let animals move & breed again |
| Protected areas | Stops land clearing & hunting | National parks protect over 1,000 threatened species' homes |
