- Abstract
The severe impacts of the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009 on Leadbeater's Possum Gymnobelideus leadbeateri populations has escalated the urgency to implement effective conservation measures for this species. This has been reflected in the positions of both the Victorian and Australian Governments, where more actions are being implemented for the species than at any previous time. However, significant debate still surrounds the most effective suite of actions required to conserve the species, and several reports highlight the need to implement stronger protection measures. The following paper provides a short outline of key developments over recent years and the major actions currently underway to conserve Leadbeater's Possum. Appendix 1 provides a bibliography listing key publications from 2012-2016.
