Demise risk for gliders

IN reply to Harry L Roberts' letter on sugar gliders (May 19), these animals are not very adaptable and cannot go across the road to Boondall Wetlands.

For a start, they don't know how to cross a railway line or climb wire fences.

In fact, a sugar glider expert at a recent meeting to discuss the Villaworld development stated that the gliders were delicate and died within a few days of relocation.

Land development in Brisbane is rapidly destroying the remnant native habitat, thus making our city an unappealing place to live in, exacerbating the demise of native fora and fauna.
