Elise OakmanGUEST
So that's where you're looking at the plants and the animals and how they interact together.

Elise OakmanGUEST
And this used to be all across the whole greater Sydney region, but because of a lot of impacts, we don't have a lot of it anymore, but I looked at the insects that visit flowers.

Elise OakmanGUEST
And whether the actions that we're doing, like putting new plants in and removing weeds, are having positive impacts on them.

Elise OakmanGUEST
So I found that a common insect that we often see about, which is the European honeybee, probably still plays a very big role, even though it's not supposed to be in Australia, it is introduced.
