females (preferring those carrying pouch young), which was met with increased survival (76.9% in 2017 and 87.5% in 2018). New South Wales In March 2018, a pilot release of 20 captive-bred eastern quolls were released into Booderee National Park on the south coast of New South Wales. The National Park was unfenced, but had undergone red fox baiting to prepare for the eastern quoll reintroduction. However, due to threats including predation by residual foxes, domestic dogs, and road mortality, no founders survived. A second release of 40 eastern quolls was conducted in 2019, of which none appear to have survived beyond early 2021. In September 2020 eastern quolls were reintroduced to Aussie Ark within a fox-proof fenced sanctuary, the Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary.
