Goal 9: Reduced risks of economic losses, environmental damage and social stress
TARGET: Reduced risks of economic losses, environmental damage and social stress by forecasting and responding to potential, new or emerging invasive animal problems.
Outputs
- Information systems that improve coordination and evaluation of effort on a national, regional and local level
- Validated risk models, systems and assessments
- Cost-effective early warning detection and response options to restrict introductions or the range of invasive animals
- Delivery of improved technical and strategic packages for managing invasive species that are hosts for pathogens that threaten humans, livestock or native fauna
- Management recommendations for endemic and exotic diseases of invasive animals
Projects
- Validating and refining risk-assessment models (9.D.1, 9.D.9)
- PhD: tools for detecting change in pest animal populations (Eve McDonald-Madden)
- Development of a national pest animal genotyping facility (9.D.2)
- Developing a toolbox of early detection and rapid response options for new or spreading pest invasions
- Identifying high-risk exotic disease sites (8.D.4)
- PhD: decision-making in conservation: management, monitoring and evaluation (Hayley Pearson)
- Pathogens in vertebrate pests of Australia (8.D.3)
