Pygmy bluetongues are considered critically endangered in Australia. They were thought to be extinct until their re-discovery in 1992. Between 1992 to 1997 a study was conducted to assist in research and ecology of the Tiliqua adelaidensis, in determining the habitat of the species. Between 2005 and 2010 there were 23 known populations of Pygmy Bluetongues in the Mid North. The project during this time aimed to survey and monitor 9 known populations of the lizard to develop a better understanding of their population processes. The Pygmy Blue Tongue 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.
