- •Greater gliders, nocturnal marsupials in eastern Australia's eucalyptus forests, are increasingly rare.
- •They rely on old-growth forests for shelter and breeding, using tree hollows.
- •Logging, bushfires, and climate change are rapidly destroying their vital habitats and food sources.
- •Ecologist Katherine Best and the World Wildlife Fund are researching their decline and guiding conservation.
- •Conservation efforts include protecting old trees, sustainable logging, fire management, and forest corridors.
