Hi, some friends and I have long been very keen entomological enthusiasts. The impact of the loss of snow gums above 1600 m is likely to extend to far more than the three species of Eucalyptus. I would suggest that, at the very least, many hundreds of species of invertebrates that depend directly or indirectly on the continued existence of a healthy snow gum woodland may go extinct, and very possible many already have. No-one will know about which species are threatened with extinction or have already been lost without a massive effort to find out, nor will we know about what further impact elsewhere will result from this trophic collapse. Please look me up on Facebook if you wish…
