A nest of the Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax) on top of a River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) in the Barmah-Millewa Forest, Australia.

The area has been degraded from ongoing selectively logging, grazing by cattle, and inadequate flooding. No logging is currently permitted within (just) 50 meters of this identified habitat. Hollows are visible in some photos, which provide habitat for other species, many of which the Wedge-tailed Eagle preys on. Due to logging, few trees in the area are old enough to harbour hollows, or support large nests like this one.

In 2005, the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council (VEAC) began a three year study that aims to investigate how best to manage public lands for environmental and economic sustainability along the Murray River, including parts of the Barmah-Millewa forest. The investigation will accept submissions from the public.
