 Australia Endangered Species Handbook
Settlers cut them for building materials and railroad ties, clearing vast areas and threatening many species.  An astounding 175 species of the genus Eucalyptus are listed on the 1997 IUCN Red List Plants. 
     Victoria still retains some old-growth forest, home to a host of rare animals.  Old eucalyptus tower over tree ferns, sassafras, mountain pepper and mosses.  In 1999 and 2000, loggers began cutting one of the last of these forests known as the Goolengook Forest (EarthFirst!
Journal 2000).  Aborigines have been able to stop logging in some traditional areas, including East Gippsland, Victoria, but the delicate and endangered native marsupials inhabiting most of these forests may not survive for long.
