- Summary:
- In Australia, the giant eucalyptus forest extends over three million hectares. This tree, nearly 100 meters high, masters the art of fire: its oils fan it in order to clear the forest and ensure its reproduction. Around it, the ecosystem has adapted: the potorou regenerates the forest by eating truffles, as for the lyrebird, by raking the ground to feed itself, it limits its flammability. Because here the fire must be neither too intense nor too frequent. However, certain human activities cause mega-fires. The flames have become enemies, endangering its inhabitants: from the large flying phalanger that feeds on its leaves to the multiple species nesting at its feet, because it is also a refuge tree, guardian of an entire world.
