Wyperfeld National Park bushfires devastate 70% of pink cockatoo habitat

Two devastating bushfires in Victoria's Wyperfeld National Park have destroyed 70% of the core habitat for endangered pink cockatoos, known as 'flamin' cockatoos'. Fewer than five large native pines remain in the area, which previously featured 178. The loss of nesting sites threatens the survival of the species, already vulnerable due to previous fires and habitat.
