National Threatened Species Trust

The National Threatened Species Institute (NTSI) has been instrumental in the conservation of several threatened species, conducting vital research and breeding programs. Their work includes the Eastern Ground Parrot, Orangebellied Parrot, New Holland Mice (Koonooms), and Smoky Mice. NTSI successfully bred and prepared Orangebellied Parrots and Smoky Mice for release into the wild, ensuring these species had the skills and resilience required for survival. They also provided care, conditioning, and longterm maintenance for Eastern Ground Parrots and New Holland Mice, contributing to population stability and future reintroduction efforts. This multifaceted approach highlights NTSI s commitment to conserving Australia s biodiversity.
