Nomination 146. Tiger Quoll.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION ON A NOMINATION FOR LISTING.
Nomination 146

Criterion 1.2 the taxon is significantly prone to future threats which are likely to result in extinction.

Evidence:

Tiger Quolls are only recorded in or near forested areas. Continuing forest clearance and disturbance has greatly reduced the habitat of the Tiger Quoll and its prey species. Further forest clearance be expansion of logging into areas which the Tiger Quoll still inhibits is likely to further affect its future survival. Competition with introduced predators, especially foxes, is likely to be a major threat. The remaining populations have now become genetically and geographically isolated by the effects of clearing and this disjunct distribution makes the Tiger Quoll susceptible to local disasters.
