AUSTRALIAN FLORA FAUNA West Australiana
“Hollowed Out?” not only tells the story of tree-hollow formation, showcasing some of the wildlife that use these remarkable natural forms of real estate in south-west Western Australia. It also describes the demise of millions of acres of precious, hollow-bearing ‘habitat trees’, highlighting to a new generation the ecological impacts of an important part of this region’s European history. The book then offers detailed descriptions of how to construct, install, monitor and maintain artificial hollows, known as ‘nest-boxes’, providing optimism for the future of wildlife in this unique area, Australia’s only internationally recognised biodiversity hotspot.
