Background
Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps)
Like many Australian species, Sugar gliders are in decline. They require mature trees with well-developed hollows. Habitat destruction and fragmentation are of particular concern, reducing the number of available hollows. However, in Tasmania, where Sugar Gliders were introduced, they have become a pest, threatening populations of the endangered Swift Parrot.
