A mulgara is released by scientist Rebecca West in the Wild Deserts precinct of Sturt national park, New South Wales, Australia on 2025.. Many of the country’s distinctive small marsupials – the bilbies, bandicoots and quolls – have been missing for a century or more, wiped out by land clearing and the hunting prowess of feral cats. A group of scientists has started a bold project to see if small marsupials can train themselves to survive alongside the cats that drove their species almost to extinction.
