Glossy black cockatoo1/15/2024 ![]() Their chances of survival are now much lower again.įor example, the long-footed potoroo exists in a very small range mostly in the forests of Victoria’s East Gippsland. The continued existence of such species was already tenuous. We estimate most of the range and population of between 20 and 100 threatened species will have been burnt. Given the fires are continuing, the precise extent of this problem is still unknown.Īnimal response to a bushfire is astounding. Populations of plant and animal species found only in relatively small areas, which substantially overlap fire-affected areas, will be worst hit. Many habitat features needed by wildlife, such as tree and log hollows, nectar-bearing shrubs and a deep ground layer of fallen leaves, may not develop for decades. ![]() DAVID MARIUZ Damage lasts decadesįire impacts are deeply felt in the longer-term.
