AUSTRALIA - In the forested Sun Valley an hour west of the centre of Sydney, conservation biologist Matt Stephens looks into a tree hollow carved using the Hollowhog, a tool he invented to create new homes for Australia's endangered wildlife.
While nest boxes can provide a temporary solution, a hole carved by the tungsten blade of a Hollowhog can create a hollow in less than an hour that can last for hundreds of years, growing in size with the tree. The Wilderness Society, a conservation group, estimates that in Australia, 303 native wildlife species rely on hollows to nest and shelter, including 31 per cent of native mammals and 15 per cent of native birds.
