Critically endangered stonefly with ‘remarkable’ lifespan faces extinction as Victorian government decision condemned

Mount Donna Buang wingless stonefly could disappear after critical habitat determination rejected, conservationists say

A critically endangered stonefly, which can outlive most other insects, may become extinct after the Victorian government made an “incredibly disappointing” decision.

That’s the claim from the Victorian National Parks Association, which was frustrated on Monday after the government rejected an application for the Mount Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly to be granted a critical habitat determination.
