The woylie, also known as the Brush-tailed bettong, is a small marsupial found in isolated colonies in Western Australia and South Australia. It was protected under the Commonwealth Endangered Species Protection Act 1992.
One of the main programmes to protect the woylie came with the Department of Environment and Conservation's "Western Shield" recovery program, which was successful enough to allow the woylie to be removed from the programme.
Because woylie numbers have begun to decline again, the Western Australia State Government brought in another conservation initiative, called "Saving our Species". Also, the woylie has been re-listed as endangered under Schedule 1 of the State Wildlife Conservation Act 1950.

Does anything live off a woylie?
There are a few other animals which capture and feed on woylies (another name for the brush-tailed bettong). Native predators include the chuditch (western quoll), wedgetail eagle and other raptors. Introduced predators such as cats and foxes, however, have caused a huge decline in the woylie population.
