Nearly extinct roughly 40 years ago, the Northern hairy-nosed wombat is making a come-back.
With the help of Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service implementing protective measures such as habitat management, predator fencing and trial and error in understanding the wombat’s needs - has led to a population growth of over 300 - a huge increase to when the species’ number dipped to low as 35.
The wombat population is being held at the Epping Forest National Park in Central Queensland.
