Protecting the Precious Malleefowl: How LIDAR is Revolutionising Monitoring Techniques
In the vast, arid landscapes of Australia, a unique and fascinating creature is facing increasing threats to its survival. The Malleefowl, with its intricate nesting habits and vibrant plumage, is a species in need of urgent conservation efforts due to shrinking habitats because of land-use changes. The mallee scrublands are being cleared for mining, agriculture, urbanisation and infrastructure development, leaving little suitable habitat for these birds to survive.
