The National Malleefowl Recovery Group (NMRG) has representatives from ACT, NSW, SA, Victoria and WA, united in carrying out the National Recovery Plan to help save the endangered Malleefowl across all regions of Australia.

One of our main actions is monitoring the health of Malleefowl populations to understand the impact of predator control, fire management, and habitat restoration on breeding populations and species numbers.
