Identifying and effectively controlling the key threats being faced by species close to extinction is crucial to their conservation. General principles
will be developed and tested to reduce the impacts of threats based on research at carefully chosen sites around Australia.
This theme will focus on:
- Developing evidence-based management tools and protocols to reduce impacts of introduced predators on threatened mammals
- Conserving critical and threatened habitats
- Managing fire regimes with thresholds to save threatened flora and fauna.
