Western Australia's Roe 8 wetlands show ecological recovery after cancelled highway

Nearly ten years after the Roe 8 highway project was controversially scrapped, Western Australia is seeing signs of ecological recovery in the cleared wetland area. Recent studies report a notable rebound in local wildlife and native vegetation. Rehabilitation work has involved planting more than 280,000 seedlings across the site. Native birds such as Carnaby's black cockatoos are among the species returning to the area.
