This vital conservation project aims to establish an extra, long-term and self- sustaining insurance population of the Flinders Ranges Purple-spotted Gudgeon (wirti udla varri) in the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park (IFRNP) in South Australia. As a species that is both culturally, historically and ecologically significant as a relic from a much wetter inland Australia when the species was likely found across the Lake Eyre Basin.
