The Other Lepidoptera: Moth Conservation in Australia

Focusing on the urgent need for moth conservation, this book highlights the significant gaps in knowledge surrounding Australia’s diverse and largely endemic moth fauna. With many species undescribed and ecological specialists facing habitat loss due to European settlement, the text addresses challenges in establishing conservation priorities. It emphasizes the importance of increased surveys and studies to document moth diversity and ecology. By drawing parallels with better-studied faunas, the book advocates for coordinated efforts in conservation management to protect these vital insects and their habitats.
