Recovering declining birds in Australian landscapes

Posted on Feb 6 2025 by a1777963

The Mount Lofty Ranges (MLR) of South Australia is nationally recognised as one of Australia’s biodiversity hotspots. Over 90% of native vegetation in the MLR was cleared by the mid-1800s and this clearing continued into the 1980’s resulting in only fragmented patches of native vegetation throughout the region. The region itself has become, through land-clearing, a remote island of native woodland 100’s of kilometres from similar habitat.
