Two‐Way Gateway Designs to Allow Free Movement Between Safe Havens for Bettongs: A Captive Trial Rufous bettongs were provided with a variety of gateway designs to allow movement of native wildlife between fenced reserves. Bettongs successfully learned to use all gateway designs, showing potenti....
