The sandhill dunnart is subject to predation by introduced species such as foxes and feral cats and dogs. There is also the problem of habitat loss, and changed fire regimes since the introduction of European settlement.
In its native habitat, the sandhill dunnart is only known on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, in arid dune areas which are well-covered by spinifex, a low, wiry desert grass of Australia. Because of this, its habitat may be affected by bushfires.

In its native habitat, the sandhill dunnart is only known on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, in arid dune areas which are well-covered by spinifex, a low, wiry desert grass of Australia. During the day, the sandhill dunnart hides in spinifex clumps on low sand dunes, burrowing into the centre of the spinifex. When threatened, the sandhill dunnart makes a loud hissing sound while getting into its defensive position.

Where Dunnart live?
The common dunnart, one of several varieties of dunnarts in Australia, lives in dry bushland and the mallee districts of northwestern Victoria. The Julia Creek dunnart, an even rarer marsupial, is restricted entirely to Mitchell Grass Downs of northwestern Queensland, within a 100km radius of Julia Creek. There is also the endangered Kangaroo Island dunnart, found only on Kangaroo island off the southern coast of South Australia. The Sandhill dunnart is found in the dry, open woodland of eastern Eyre Peninsula.

Is the sandhill crane endangered?
Yes, sadly, the whooping crane is endangered. It has been endangered since 1941. In 1941 there were only 14 left.
How do we save the Sandhill dunnart?
Because the sandhill dunnart is subject to predation by introduced species such as foxes and feral cats and dogs, one of the best measures is to set aside secure, protected areas for them, within their natural habitat. This has worked to help conserve the bilby in far southwestern Queensland. Tracking animals in existing colonies is also useful, as scientists can determine other threats, and also their range and distribution.
Are sandhill cranes on the endangered species list?
