INDIGENOUS NATURE ART WALLPAPERS BY IESHA WYATT
The woylie (brush-tailed bettong) and potoroo play vital roles in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural and ecological heritage in Australia. Both species are integral to Indigenous Australian traditions, often featured in Dreamtime stories that teach lessons about balance and respect for the land.
Ecologically, they are keystone species, contributing to soil health through their foraging and digging activities, which promote seed dispersal and aeration. The decline of these species due to habitat loss and introduced predators has heightened their symbolic importance as ambassadors for conservation, representing the need to preserve Australia's unique biodiversity. Their cultural and ecological value underscores a broader connection between Australia’s wildlife and its cultural identity, emphasising the need for sustainable coexistence with nature.
