Thirty rare wallabies were given the all clear to be released into a protected sanctuary in New South Wales, a local conservation group said.

Footage released by Aussie Ark on October 18 shows a parma wallaby getting its health checks and being released into the Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary.

The parma wallabies, whose conservation status is “vulnerable” according to the New South Wales government, were part of Aussie Ark’s breeding program established in 2017, the group said.

“We have been working towards a release of this size for Parma wallabies since 2017 when our first wallabies arrived! Watching them hop away into a wilderness free of introduced threats is one I can’t wait to see! ” said Tyler Gralton, Aussie Ark Supervisor. Credit: Aussie Ark via Storyful
