There are a number of main projects which fall under the biodiversity programme area.

Managing Pest Plants and Animals

Develop and maintain a coordinated, cost-effective regional-scale response to controlling pest plants and animals, and preventing and eradicating new and emerging pests and weeds, through regional-scale collaborative pest management planning and the maintenance of a rapid-response to emerging pests.

Prevent the emergence of new pest plants through collaboration with plant nurseries, and widespread community promotion.

Threatened Habitats and Endangered Species

Targets existing endangered species including Irwin’s Turtle, Black Throated Finch, and the Northern Quoll, and works with landholders, QEPA, researchers and the wider community to improve and/or increase habitat.

Restoring and Maintaining Habitat Connectivity

Work with landholders, building a landscape stewardship ethic, and building their capacity to restore and maintain habitat connectivity in the landscape.
