Now that it has been preserved from further logging, the next challenge is to revive the ageing forest, which suffers from degradation due almost two centuries of cattle grazing, to weed infestation (particularly Arum Lilies), and an absence of new young trees due to overpopulation of Western Grey Kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus), for whom infant Tuart saplings are a favoured dietary item.
The larvae are polyphagous, they feed a large variety of leaves including Zantedeschia aethiopica, Impatiens balsamina (Balsaminaceae), Vigna sp.
There are also a number of flower growing operations growing Sandersonia, calla lilies, orchids and hydrangeas for export markets all over the world.
