One of Australia's most endangered mammals may have been pushed closer to extinction by cyclone Yasi.

It is harder to assess the damage that the cyclone has done to the homes of native wildlife with many areas still inaccessible. 

Natalie Fernbach talks to Daryl Dickson on radio ABC North Queensland about the endangered Mahogany Glider.                                                                                                                   Read More
