Abstract

2020 conservation status: Endangered
IUCN Red List criteria: D
Justification of status: a small population persists only on the Wallabi Islands, Houtman Abrolhos, having almost certainly been extirpated from North Island in the last decade, probably because of overgrazing by introduced tammar wallabies.
