The ACT Government, in collaboration with research partners, has developed a low-impact monitoring method for the threatened Pink-tailed Worm-lizard. The novel, low-impact monitoring method will allow monitoring for the species to be undertaken more frequently and thereby allows land managers an opportunity to respond faster to population change.
