Restoring rainforest habitat for the Pink Underwing Moth
"The rainforest that once covered the Maleny plateau near Mount Mellum, between 5% and 10% remains. First came the loggers for the prized timber of giant red cedars and hoop pines. Then the dairy farmers for the rich, red volcanic soil... About 20 tiny islands of rainforest remain on the Maleny plateau. Some as small as a hectare, almost all are on private property. Highly fragmented, they are vulnerable to invasive species, fire, disease and climate change."
