> Researchers have found several Australian wildlife species which were previously hit by rapid declines and faced the likelihood of extinction have recovered to the point they should no longer be considered threatened.

> The study, published in Biological Conservation, found 26 Australian species had recovered to the point where they no longer met the criteria to be listed as threatened under the Act, and confirmed another three species which had been delisted during that time had legitimately recovered.
