 Manly Council and the University of Sydney are asking the residents of Manly’s Eastern Hill neighbourhood to help them with an innovative wildlife research project investigating an endangered Long-nosed Bandicoot population surviving on Sydney’s North Head.
Eastern Hill residents are being urged to complete an on-line survey to report their experiences with the Long-nosed Bandicoot An information sheet (how to identify Long-nosed Bandicoots) and a paper copy of the survey are available from Dr Catherine Price at [email protected] or by calling Manly Council’s Environmental Officer on 02 9976 1500.

 The endangered population of Long Nosed Bandicoots at North Head continues to be under threat from cars in the area. A staggering number of around 30 bandicoots have been killed by cars in the last 12 months - the highest number on record. The total population is estimated to be only 100 bandicoots so this road kill is particularly alarming.
Hotspots for bandicoot deaths are North Head Scenic Drive and Darley Road on Manly’s eastern hill. High risk intersections include Darley Road and Marshall Street. Cats and foxes are also a threat to the population. Something needs to be done to protect them. It has been suggested that speed humps in local Manly streets near North Head could reduce road kill. What do you think? Are speed humps in local streets a good idea? |
