Overview
Project by: Alexander Holland, Stanislav Roudavski, Phillip Gibbons.
Grassy box gum woodlands once covered millions of square kilometres in southeastern Australia, but today less than 5% remains. The loss of large old trees has been a crisis for the many species of birds and other animals that depend on them for habitat.
Replacing this habitat is not easy. There is no quick way to create a centuries-old tree.
One thing we can do is make artificial structures that mimic the features of large old trees in degraded environments where trees cannot live or are too young and small.
This project is broadly relevant for birds, insects and plants, but specific requirements depend on the species and ecosystem.
