Description
The Gulbaru Gecko has a very restricted distribution in Queensland and has only been found at three sites despite extensive surveys.
Threats
Current known threats to the Gulbaru Gecko include unmanaged burning for the purposes of grazing, causing the conversion of rainforest to Eucalyptus woodland leading to isolation of small pockets of suitable habitat . The area of remaining rainforest has been reduced over recent times to increasingly isolated slopes and gullies.
