Australia’s ampurta is making a big comeback. The tiny desert marsupial was once thought close to extinction after farming and the introduction of foxes and rabbits devastated its habitat in the 19th and 20th centuries. But between 2015 and 2021 it expanded its range by 48,000 km² — roughly the size of Denmark — to 238,441 km², thanks in part to its resilience in extreme conditions and also to reduced invasive rabbit numbers. https://news.mongabay.com/2026/03/defying-drought-and-invasives-a-feisty-australian-marsupial-makes-a-comeback/
