Great news for one of Australia's most iconic animals, the platypus!

New research has found that platypuses rescued during the 2019 drought and later released back into the wild adapted remarkably well, quickly returning to their usual habitats, movement patterns and feeding areas. The findings show that emergency rescue and rehabilitation can play an important role in protecting vulnerable wildlife as climate change brings more extreme weather events.

A positive reminder that conservation efforts really do make a difference.
