Tiny and living in the desert, this mole is one of the most elusive mammals of Australia.

The moles, known as kakarratul, are tiny, have no eyes, and silky golden fur and are only seen five to 10 times a decade.

Typically seen just five to ten times per decade, the elusive species has now been found for the second time in six months

The palm-sized creatures have silky golden locks, no eyes, a stumpy tail and flipper-like hands.

The difference between a patchwork burn and a two-million-hectare blanket burn is largely due to Indigenous fire regimes.

Rewilding is core to conservation efforts around the world. In Australia’s threatened but intact deserts, where do people fit in with the strategy?

While southern Australia experienced a wet winter and a soggy spring, northern Australia has seen the opposite. Extreme fire weather in October and November led to bushfires across 120,000 square kilometers of southern savanna regions.
