Overview of the big and giant Eucalypt citizen science projects

There are several citizen science projects collating big and giant Eucalypt records across Australia. 

There is clearly a strong interest in the identification and conservation of big and giant Eucalypts. Citizen science app sightings and observations are collated by the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA).  The ALA is used by governments and researchers so this data contributes to environmental decision making.

Why are big and giant Eucalypts important?

People are awestruck by the size and age of big and giant Eucalypts. The oldest giant Eucalypts are 500 to 1,000 years old, depending on the species. Big and giant Eucalypts have abundant tree hollows of different sizes and shapes for a wide range of hollow dependent fauna. They continue to provide important habitat for many decades after they senesce, die and collapse. These Eucalypts and the forests they are part of are also major carbon sinks.
