Restoring biodiversity homes after fires

“The golden-tipped bat is found in rainforest gullies along the eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range and was heavily impacted during the Black Summer bushfires of 2019–20. The microbat, which weighs up to 6 grams, is highly specialised and roosts in the bottoms of bird nests made by the yellow-throated scrub wren and the brown gerygone.”
“Indigenous knowledge saves golden-tipped bats as Black Summer bushfires destroy habitat.Traditional Aboriginal weaving techniques are being used to create nests for a tiny, threatened bat species in New South Wales. Ecologists hung about 30 artificial roosts during the 2022 breeding season in golden-tipped bat habitat in the mid-north coast NSW hinterland.”
