This book is a comprehensive guide to the rare and threatened plants of South Eastern Queensland Australia. Three hundred and Thirty Two (332) Species are profiled and illistrated. This book is a must for anyone working in plant conservation in Eastern Australia. Some of the species are illustrated for the first time and this is the only book currently availble that details conservation significant flora in South Eastern Queensland.A decade in the making, to capture images for this book, Lui climbed many of the mountain peaks in SE QLD to find their endemic plants, often returning more than once to capture that elusive flower or fruit. Lui also abseiled off cliffs to document and conserve some relict species from the last ice age and discovered a couple of taxa new to science in the process. Thousands of kilometers driven and hundreds hiked, into some of the most remote places, in our spectacular corner of Queensland have created this guide to our most conservation signficant flora species. Lets all work together to ensure the survival of our most threatened plants into the future.

Australia’s nature is exceptional, wonderful and important. But much has been lost, and the ongoing existence of many species now hangs by a thread. Against a relentless tide of threats to our biodiversity, many Australians, and government and non-government agencies, have devoted themselves to the challenge of conserving and recovering plant and animal species that now need our help to survive. This dedication has been rewarded with some outstanding and inspiring successes: of extinctions averted, of populations increasing, of communities actively involved in recovery efforts. Recovering Australian Threatened Species showcases successful conservation stories and identifies approaches and implementation methods that have been most effective in recovering threatened species. These diverse accounts – dealing with threatened plants, invertebrates, fish, reptiles, birds and mammals – show that the conservation of threatened species is achievable: that it can be done and should be done. They collectively serve to inform, guide and inspire other conservation efforts. This is a book of hope and inspiration. It shows that with dedication, knowledge and support, we can retain and restore our marvellous natural heritage, and gift to our descendants a world that is as diverse, healthy and beautiful as that which we have inherited.
