Australia's Greater Gliders Face Extinction Threat from Climate Change and Logging

  • 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.

Why It Matters: Australia's Greater Gliders are critically endangered due to habitat loss from logging and climate change.
