My home of ashes

for the Greater Glider

Endangered

By Cayla, age 10

The greater glider has always been overshadowed by “cuter” animals under the threat of extinction. Not only this, but while people are more focused on other animals they don’t realize how much the numbers have dropped over the years. The greater glider is facing extinction from deforestation and wild fires. You also may realize that deforestation and wild fires are becoming more common. These greater gliders are struggling with habitat loss and nobody is noticing or taking action. This is why my greater glider is drawn in white, grey and black. These colours symbolise how they have been the unnoticed victims to bush fires.
