Rare animals return across the Blue Mountains after Black Summer bushfires
More than one million images show threatened mammals and birds, along with a native rodent not recorded for decades, enduring or returning across the Blue Mountains between 2023 and 2025. The assessment covers 845,000 hectares, after 72 per cent of the site was burnt.
The findings show in detail how plants and animals are faring after the fires. They can also guide future management decisions and long-term conservation efforts.
