Australian sandalwood is going extinct in the wild. It’s threatened by over harvesting, land clearing, fire, grazing herbivores, and climate change. It’s biggest challenge is the loss of its natural seed dispersers (small native marsupials called bettongs).

There's big money in sandalwood and where there's big money, there is only pragmatism. That's why the world is on the brink. #Capitalism

Highlights how seemingly unconnected players are critical to the overall health and sustainability of the ecosystem.
