IMG_5520_river red gum.jpg Red Gum trees are iconic Australian trees that grow along the banks of the Murray River. They rely on a regular flood cycle to survive. The unprecedented drought of the last 15 years has lead to low river levels on the Murray River. This and upstream dams taking water out for irrigation has vastly reduced the seasonal flooding. As a result 75% of the Red gums are either dead or dying. Climate change will only increase the likelihood that these trees and the wild life that they support are left increasingly vulnerable. These trees are in the Barmah forest, the largest stand of Red Gums in the world.

IMG_2800_koala bear.jpg A Koala Bear in the Barmah Forest near Echuca, Victoria, Australia. Koala's are becoming scarce in some areas as a result of climate change. Their diet is exclusively eucalyptus leaves which are poor in nutrients. The drought has stressed many eucalyptus trees with the result that their leaves are even less nutritous. This in turn imacts on the Kaolas. Over 75% of the Red Gum trees along the Murray River, that support Koalas are dead, water stressed or dying.
