A small furry marsupial that roamed plains in Australia has been brought back from the brink of extinction on the country's mainland.
The Eastern Barred Bandicoot has been bumped off the Australian state of Victoria's"extinct in the wild" list
Numbers of the Eastern Barred Bandicoot plummeted on the mainland because of foxes and habitat destruction. It is the first time Australia has changed the status of an animal from "extinct in the wild" to "endangered". They created predator-free sites - some of which were protected by trained dogs - and moved some of the animals to fox-free islands.Announcing the change in conservation status of the bandicoot on Wednesday, Victoria's Environment Minister Lily D'Ambrosio said she was "excited" about the project's success, adding: "It is an incredible first for Australia."
