Abstract
⺠We attempted nine mammal and one reptile reintroduction in northern South Australia. ⺠50% of reintroductions failed due to predation. ⺠Release size, source populations and use of a release pen had little effect. ⺠Predation thresholds should be developed for threatened species. ⺠Feral cat control is urgently needed to improve reintroduction success.
