A survey conducted to determine the distribution and status of Kowaris (an endangered species) in relation to historical records: determine habitat preferences and causes of decline. The study area expanded around Lake Eyre and the Simpson-Tirari Deserts, extending south from Boulia to Marree then north to Witjira - Charlotte Waters on the SA/NT border. Survey extends into Northern Territory and Queensland. The Kowari Project Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.
