Dear Michael,

Thank you for contacting the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

Under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), the Director of National Parks is responsible for Commonwealth reserves. These include six national parks, the Australian National Botanic Gardens and 60 Australian Marine Parks. These areas are managed either directly or in partnership with Traditional Owners, supported by Parks Australia. You can find more information about these parks at www.parksaustralia.gov.au.

Parks Australia is currently using eDNA to better understand and protect biodiversity on land and sea. This method can help us detect invasive species such as the wolf snake on Christmas Island, monitor threatened species like the great desert skink in Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park and to assess biodiversity in over 15 Australian Marine Parks.

While we do not usually carry out genetic analysis ourselves, we are building our capability and working with research partners. We are collaborating with CSIRO on the National Biodiversity DNA Library to improve eDNA data across Australia. We are also working with the Minderoo Foundation to explore how eDNA can support conservation and improve access to data for park managers, researchers and the public. More information is available at marine-parks.minderoo.org.

Regarding your specific questions:

Parks Australia uses eDNA screening in a number of national parks, including both marine and terrestrial environments. The specific locations and focus areas vary depending on the objectives of each project.
We work in close partnership with research agencies and institutions including to encourage, contribute to, or commission science to address park management needs https://australianmarineparks.gov.au/science/science-partnerships/.
The Tasmanian tiger (Thylacine) is not a focus of Parks Australia's current eDNA monitoring activities. Although the species may appear in some commercially available eDNA panels, our monitoring program is guided by the department’s priorities, including the Priority Species list (Priority Species - DCCEEW).

Thank you again for your interest. If you have any further questions, please find our contact information here https://parksaustralia.gov.au/about/contact-us/

Regards,

Melinda

Western Australian state government conservation department not screening for Tasmanian tiger.Environmental Dna 2025.

Adrian Pinderadrian.pinder@dbca.wa.gov.auYouDBCA EnquiriesOFFICIALHi Michael. Thankyou for your enquiry with the department on 10 Jun. DBCA is using eDNA technologies to survey and monitor threatened species in Western Australia, although most projects are in methodological development or pilot study stages at this time. This research is undertaken by our own eDNA laboratory. We do not have a program of broadscale screening for mammals using eDNA, rather our projects are targeted towards listed threatened species in particular locations in WA. The Tasmanian Tiger is not on the list of species we are targeting.Regards,Adrian.Submitted on Tue, 06/10/2025 - 05:40My Tasmanian tiger video... • Michael Moss Tasmanian tiger 1998 footage ... • Nannup tiger? search Western Australia/Mai... https://www.envirodna.com/resources/n...https://shows.acast.com/expedition-un...

Tasmanian state government conservation department environmental Dna update. Thylacine 2025.

Gaffney, Robbie Robbie.Gaffney@nre.tas.gov.auPanther1966@live.com.auCC. Wildlife Services Driessen, MichaelDear MichaelThankyou for your query regarding eDNA for Tasmanian tiger. Environmental DNA (via the company EnviroDNA) has been used in the past in Tasmania to assess for the presence of chytrid fungus in frogs and the presence of platypus. However, I am not aware of any current projects looking at environmental DNA in Tasmania to survey wildlife for any species. We are aware of the eDNA work that could potentially detect thylacines. If samples are collected in the future for eDNA purposes then it is possible that they may also be screened for thylacines.

South Australian state government conservation department not screening for Tasmanian tiger.

Higham, Jason (DEW)Jason.Higham@sa.gov.auYouOFFICIALGood afternoonThanks for your inquiry to our website regarding whether our department uses eDNA technology. In looking through the available information, we do not currently use eDNA testing in South Australia routinely but some of South Australia’s Natural Resource Management Boards, the Landscape Boards have used eDNA in their projects.Please see https://www.landscape.sa.gov.au/hf/ne... and https://www.greenadelaide.sa.gov.au/n... for more information on these projects.As I understand it, these projects are not routinely screening for Tasmanian tiger/thylacine on the list of species you screen. I would recommend you visit https://www.landscape.sa.gov.au/ to seek further information from themKindest regardsJaseJason HighamManager, Conservation and Threatened Species Unit National Parks & Wildlife ServiceDepartment for Environment and WaterP (08) 8207 7736| M 0409 098 535 | Jason.higham@sa.gov.au81-95 Waymouth Street, Adelaide, SA, 5001GPO Box 1047, Adelaide, SA, 5001environment.sa.gov.au | parks.sa.gov.auSouth Australian Government Department for Environment and Water.Sadly it’s looking unlikely living Tasmanian Tigers exist in 2025 in the mainland Australian states of NSW and Victoria given vast areas have now been surveyed for Tasmanian tiger DNA twice in these states and combined with the massive loss of habitat that occurred with the 2019/2020 bush fires.
