Part 5/8:
Amidst the conservation efforts for the Tasmanian devil, the plight of the orange-bellied parrot unfolds as one of urgency. With fewer than 200 individuals left in the wild, this bird has become a symbol of the fragility of Tasmania's ecosystem. Conservationists work tirelessly, establishing breeding programs and releasing captive-bred specimens back into their natural habitat in southwest Tasmania, guided by biologist Jim Thomas. Their dedication showcases how focused efforts can offer hope to even the most endangered species.
