Australia used artificial tree hollows to replace vital wildlife homes lost to bushfires; new 3D-printed and drilled habitats could give threatened species a place to shelter

Innovative researchers are harnessing the power of 3D printing to construct homes for endangered Australian wildlife. By replicating the natural tree hollows that these species depend on, the new habitats promise to attract wildlife in distress. Additionally, a groundbreaking drilling technique is being used to create artificial hollows directly in living trees, aiming to provide a million new shelters amidst the aftermath of bushfires.
