A joint plan to save an endangered bird species from extinction is benefitting from an experimental tool – tiny solar-powered backpacks.
Plains wanderers are small, fawn-coloured, ground-dwelling birds with speckled throats that live in the semi-arid grasslands of north-western Victoria and the New South Wales Riverina.
The birds were once found across eastern Australia but their numbers have dramatically declined in the past 10 years. Much of their known habitat is found on private land.
