War of the Wombats

On Australia Day Animal Planet aired War of the Wombats.
With their cute and cuddly appearance, wombats are an Australia icon but the future of the world's largest burrowing mammal is uncertain. Shrinking habitats, crippling droughts and hunting have all combined to drastically reduce their numbers in recent years. Just 90 individuals remain of one species. War of the Wombats reveals the extraordinary efforts being undertaken by a group of passionate Australians to save these creatures from extinction. Right across the country, scientists, researchers and volunteers are desperately racing against the clock combining new technologies, innovative experiments and groundbreaking science to create an 11th hour survival plan.
Here you can find War of the Wombats online.
