The sandalwood tree

The sandalwood tree

Länge: 18:27
If every scent tells a story, the Australian Sandalwood Tree (Santalum Spicatum) must be a library; rich with ecological, cultural and economic history books.  
But today, much of this history is at risk, with unsustainable harvesting, climate change and feral predators pushing the tree perilously close to extinction.  
In this episode, we drive down the Gunbarrel Highway to the Birriliburu Indigenous Protected Area in WA's central deserts to find some of the oldest sandalwood trees in the world. Underneath their scrambling canopies, we ask: How are they going in the wild? What makes these trees so special? And what does their future hold?
Produced by Eliza Herbert and Kate Thorburn.

Beschreibung

Big Sky Country takes you deep into the bush to hear the sounds of hope. Join conservation organisation Bush Heritage Australia to travel this vast country: from the eucalypt woodlands of Dja Dja Wurrung country in central Victoria, to the grassy plains and rock country of central Arnhem Land. Meet the people on ground who are experts in ecology, culture, conservation and country. Learn about seasons and ceremony, teeny tiny fish and phascogale sex, and the sounds a tree makes when it dies. Hear the untold wonders of this precious and sometimes precarious land. And take the time to listen to the people who are protecting it against a barrage of ever-growing threats. Theme music by The Orbweavers.
