Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat
Habitat reduction
Related to excessive grazing for livestock.
Solutions
Working to stop the further spread of habitat degradation by farming, mining, and urbanisation efforts
Protected areas
Educating the public
Protest
Invasive Species and Competition
Wild Dogs and Dingoes
Threat faced: Predation by wild dogs and dingoes affect wombat populations dramatically, being sited as one of the major reasons for the endangered status of the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat
Solutions
Working to reduce the threat of predators such as wild dogs and dingoes. Wild dogs and dingoes are considered pests meaning they are shot on sight
Rabbits and other invasive species
Threat faced: Competition for food resources with a thriving rabbit, deer, and goat population threatens the access to food for the declining wombat populations.
Solutions
Working to reduce the threat of invasive species on the ability of Wombats to fairly compete for resources.` Rabbits, deer, and goats are invasive species and are shot on sight
Habitat challenges
Bush fires
Wombat habitat burning away
Many die in the fires
Food sources disappearing and soil being ruined and unable to grow anything in it
Droughts
Water sources drying up
Long periods between rainfall
Irregular rain periods
.
Pollution and environmental degradation
Pollution
Light Pollution
Lowers Reproduction
Noise Pollution
Lowers reproduction
Plastic Pollution
Turoirst
Rural areas with traffic
Chemical Runoff
Agriculture Runoff
Contributing the must to enviormental
damage to the womabats
Factories
Lack of Reproductive Activity
High Stress Levels from:
Losing a home (bush fires and drought)
A Lack of food and bad diet
Weed and other grasses taking over
Grazing animals
Solution: Increase native grass growth
Quality of Life (Social Factors)
No Mates Available
Solution: Introduce planned mating within facilities
Habitat Distruption
Human Interaction and Sound Pollution
Solution: Signage
or indicators to let people know
The NHN-Wombat usually has 1-2 young per year. Reduced rates thus makes it hard for this species to continue to strive within the wild, especially with its many threats. These are some factors that contribute to the lower rate.
