SHORT SUMMARY AND TRANSLATION

We studied the impacts of fire-mosaic attributes on the occurrence of Ngarlgumirdi on the Dampier Peninsula. Ngarlgumirdi were more prevalent in areas with higher proportions of habitat that had not burnt for at least 3 years, or had burnt less frequently. Feral cats were less common in these habitats. These results emphasise the importance of reducing fire frequency and protecting long-unburnt vegetation to maintain Ngarlgumirdi habitat, and support a cross-tenure initiative to manage fire more effectively in the region.
