A 1,000 per cent increase in Queensland's northern hairy-nosed wombat population since the 1980s means the endangered animal will be found in a new part of the state for the first time. • Once common across eastern Australia, by the 1980s only 35 northern hairy-nosed wombats remained in Queensland after land clearing and pests destroyed much of their habitat. • Conservation work over subsequent decades increased that population at Epping State Forest in central Queensland to about 400, and to 18 at the Richard Underwood Nature Refuge (RUNR) near St George. • Subscribe: http://ab.co/1svxLVE • Read more here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-0... • ABC News provides around the clock coverage of news events as they break in Australia and abroad.
