8. Mountain Pygmy Possum
In the snowy mountains of Victoria, Australia, a tiny creature, the Mountain Pygmy Possum, fights for survival. With less than 2,000 left in the wild, this adorable creature faces multiple threats, from ski resorts destroying its habitat to climate change reducing snow cover and disrupting hibernation. Paleontologist Dr. Michael Archer proposes a bold solution by introducing the possums to lowland forests, similar to their ancestors’ habitat millions of years ago. This relocation could provide the species with a chance to adapt and thrive once again.
