ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPH.

Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, Australia.

"This snow gum sits as one of the oldest surviving snow gums in Australia. With so few of these ancient remnant snow gums left as result of increased fires and the die back caused by the native longicorn beetle, intact old‑growth stands are now exceptionally scarce. Outside these few remaining stands, finding examples like this is becoming increasingly challenging, but I'm determined to keep exploring and photograph them while I can. On this snowy winters day I explored an area I know contains some of these ancient specimens and was rewarded with this still standing and impressive beauty." - Scott

Resilient though they are, snow gums are facing a convergence of pressures that is outpacing their ability to recover. Fires across the alps are burning hotter and more frequently, while at the same time, warming temperatures are pushing habitat boundaries higher and many of these ancient trees are dying as a result of attack from the native longicorn beetle (Phoracantha semipunctata).
