Hydrological Warning
Experts warn of direct impacts on the Murray-Darling Basin water yields.
Widespread Dieback Observed
Satellite data confirms rapid canopy loss in key catchment areas.
Beetle Population Surge
Warmer winters lead to an explosion in longicorn beetle larvae survival rates.
Black Summer Bushfires
Massive fires weaken snow gum populations across the Australian Alps.
The accelerating death of snow gum forests in the Australian Alps is creating a hydrological crisis for the Murray-Darling Basin. Driven by climate-stressed beetle infestations, this dieback threatens the water towers that sustain 40% of Australia's agricultural output.
