"Research by renowned Australian ecologist Lesley Hughes has found that 53 per cent of the 800 species of Australian eucalypts have climatic ranges that can tolerate less than 3 degree shifts in average temperatures, while only 25 per cent of species survive wthin 1 degree of their current range.”

The painting had been laid on board but not glazed - and had also been discoloured by tobacco smoke. It has been taken off the backing, cleaned, glazed and archivally mounted. During this process, the title was revealed.
