BUSH HERITAGE AUSTRALIA

Bush Heritage Australia is recognising the unsung heroes of the bush – plants and animals that are critical to ecological recovery after bushfire.

The bushfire crisis impacted NSW reserves and ecologists and land managers are hard at work implementing bushfire recovery plans.

‘The bush will bounce back to life. It may be different but it will recover’ says Bush Heritage CEO Heather Campbell. “The bushfire crisis has turned the world’s eyes towards our unique and irreplaceable wildlife”.

The unsung bushfire heroes are:

ANTS:  Certain species take seeds underground and provides protection from fire and harsh summer temperatures. The rich moist soil in underground ant nests is beneficial to seeding fertilisation

ECHIDNAS: These spiny monotremes are constantly moving soil around as they dig. By collecting seeds and water, the holes are crucial to the regeneration of native plants

PARROTS: Seed-eating parrots spread native seed species far and wide.

WEDGE-TAILED EAGLES: These apex predators help to clean up carcasses after fire and keep disease loads low, ensuring the health of other native species in the area.

Australia holds the unenviable title of having the highest rate of mammal extinction in the world. Scientists estimate that 10@ of native Australian species have disappeared since the arrival of Europeans 200 years ago
