Movement Behaviour of Kangaroos in Urban Canberra

Territory and Municipal Services Directorate

The natural behaviour of urban kangaroos is being measured using tracking collars. Each collar contains a GPS which records the location of the kangaroo every hour. This research will assist the ACT Government to make evidence-based decisions about future kangaroo control programs, and about reducing the risk of motor vehicle collisions with kangaroos.
