	What you can do
		As Botanist James Drummond noted in 1843, after passing through Tuart forest north of Busselton: “Few of the natural productions of a country can be of more importance than the indigenous forest trees.”
		With the threat of further tuart decline, since, (and as suggested in) 1904, it is important that we protect what remains from further clearing and environmental stresses.
		It is the only forest of its type in the world – a rare and irreplaceable ecosystem of which less than 2000 hectares remain and is home to vulnerable and endangered species including the Brushtailed Phascogale, Western Ringtail possum, Short-billed Black Cockatoo and the Chuditch.
