`Are We Too Late?` Bird Series #3, The Mallee Emu-wren

Because I live in the driest state of the driest continent on earth, over time I have seen the destruction of our Mallee vegetation by both man and fire and the impact of this on our native birds. We have such a high rate of vulnerable, endangered, and extinct birds in Australia. My passion has been to tell their stories before a possible catastrophe. One such quilt was about the Mallee Emu-wren; two years after completing the quilt, a fire destroyed both the birds and the habitat. They are now extinct in South Australia and endangered in other states.
