At least four of six young broad-headed snakes have survived their first critical months in the wild after a world-first reintroduction effort in New South Wales.
The captive-bred snakes were released in May into restored habitat in the Shoalhaven region. Researchers have been monitoring them with support from Indigenous rangers and Traditional Owners. Specially designed rock shelters give the young snakes places to rest and find warmth.
The project is still an early trial, but the first results are encouraging and will help guide future releases of this threatened species.
It’s a reminder that patient research and local knowledge can work together to give wildlife a better chance.
