Introduction

The primary goal of this project is to remove the impact of rodents on both the human population and the flora and fauna of LHI, to both improve the environment for the human residents and visitors and to provide a secure environment for populations of threatened and indigenous plants and animals currently present. Secondary goals are to establish a sustainable and robust biosecurity system to prevent the establishment of invasive flora and fauna including but not limited to rodents. Strengthened biosecurity measures for the Island will protect and enhance Lord Howe Islands World Heritage status and continue to increase tourism interest for this unique pest free environment.
