Martín Ramírez, from the Argentinian Museum of Natural History and co-author of the study, commented on the habitat specificity of this species, «confined to the oldest and extensively hollow myrtle beech trees in the humid forests in the western part of the Great Otway National Park, or in mountain ash trees, upon which the myrtle trees depend,» thus making an important case for the conservation

Such habitat is itself vulnerable to climate change, not to mention development.
The bad news may be even worse: the species depends critically on highly saline large lakes (Mono Lake, Great Salt Lake, etc.) for its mid-summer molt, and
such habitats are widely thought to be already deteriorating because of climate change.
