In late 2020, while Covid-19 had shut down most of the globe, a small research team entered the rugged Tasmanian wilderness to search for a Critically Endangered species now believed to be Extinct. This wasn’t the long-lost Tasmanian Tiger, but a burrowing crayfish filling an important ecological role. Cameras captured the rediscovery of these enigmatic animals, while showcasing the dedication of the environmental scientists undertaking their gritty, hard work without fanfare or sensationalism. At a time when the world needs good news, these small but determined survivors deliver a big dose of real-life environmental hope from down under 'Down Under'.
