"In short: A native rewilding project on the #Tasmanian Bass Strait island of lungtalanana, or #ClarkeIsland, will see #wombats, #wallabies and #potoroos reintroduced to the landscape from next year.

"What's next? #Landcare groups hope to eradicate feral cats from the island and are calling for increased funding from the federal government."
