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.
the long tailed otter is endangered because they have been hunted for a very long time and they have now only got 5 long tailed otters left in the wild.
The conservation status of the Sandhill dunnart is listed as "endangered".
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.

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.

Yes, sadly, the whooping crane is endangered. It has been endangered since 1941. In 1941 there were only 14 left.
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.
No. They are listed as "Least Concern" by the IUCN Redlist.
A dunnart is a small, mouse-sized, carnivorous marsupial found mainly in Australia, with a species also in New Guinea. There are about 19 species of dunnart, with their names often reflecting the locality from which they come, such as the Julia Creek dunnart, Kangaroo island dunnart and Carpentaria dunnart, although the fat-tailed dunnart is an exception to this. Dunnarts on the whole are listed as either endangered or vulnerable. They live for up to 3 years in the wild and 4 years in captivity.
yes, they are not endangered but whooping cranes are
What the heck is a sandhill
Sandhill Park was created in 1720.
