The Parma wallaby
HE SMALLEST of the wallabies, in the 1960s the parma was thought to be extinct in its native Australia. In 1969 all the wallabies on Kawau Island were temporarily protected while parmas were captured and taken to Australia or to zoos worldwide to restore the population. Later surveys in the 1970s showed the parma was in no danger of extinction in Australia. In 1984 the New Zealand Government removed the protection granted the wallaby. #
