In 2007, bushfires devastated one of the last remaining refuges for the Green Carpenter Bee in Southern Australia. In a world-first, researchers have identified alternate nest material that can bridge the gap until natural materials regrow. But they need funding to produce enough material to bring this iconic bee back.
Subsequent to the recent bushfires on both Kangaroo Island and in the Blue Mountains the Green Carpenter Bee priorities have changed. Additional funds are urgently required to ensure this bee does not become extinct.
