Greater Gliders need a new national park in the Wombat Forest
The Wombat Forest, near Daylesford, is a vital refuge for the Greater Glider, Australia’s largest flying mammal. A new report suggests that a new national park here would secure long-term protection for this species that is in decline across the state.
At least a quarter of Greater Glider habitat has been impacted by the unprecedented fires in the east of Victoria. The Wombat Forest is one of the forests in the west of Victoria that has been recommended by VEAC to be protected in the national parks system.
