Playing possum
Article Abstract:
The study on possums, glider ecology and their behavior in the Mountain Ash forests shows important differences in the habitat requirements of each species of possum and glider. In order to retain suitable habitat for most species of possums and gliders and to log forest, new and more ecologically appropriate harvesting methods need to be developed.
