A new breeding facility for the endangered Grassland Earless Dragon was today launched at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve following the arrival of 6 dragons from Melbourne Zoo.
Minister for the Environment Rebecca Vassarotti and Minister for Land Management Mick Gentleman formally opened the facility and thanked Melbourne Zoo for their support in establishing the colony and sharing their expertise in conserving this important species.
“Australia is facing an extinction crisis. If we are to halt and reverse the damage we’re doing to our natural environment, we must challenge ourselves, and test and trial approaches to tackle extinction rates and re-introduce native fauna back into the wild,” Minister Vassarotti said.
