Artificial Hollows are vital to some 15% of Australia’s vertebrate species. Since European settlement, huge numbers of old, hollow-bearing trees have been lost through land-clearing for agriculture, housing, and industry. More have been lost through increasingly severe natural disasters.
There is, however, something we can do as individuals and as a community; create and install artificial hollows to provide additional homes for those species that will not survive without them.
North Coast Regional Landcare Network and WiRES are please to release a short video Life in Hollows, which explores the challenges faced by hollow-dependent wildlife and shows how we can make a difference!
