Purpose
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is situated in the south west of the Northern Territory, 320 km south west of Alice Springs. The park covers 1325 km2 and is managed jointly between Parks Australia and Anangu Traditional Owners. Since 2009 a vertebrate pest monitoring program has been undertaken to determine: the distribution, abundance and status of carnivorous predators throughout the known habitat areas for endangered species; the level of threat posed to endangered species populations by carnivorous predators; and to understand the seasonal and environmental patterns associated with predation levels. Surveys involve using track identification to ascertain the activity levels of foxes, cats and dingoes.
