Biodiversity 2037 Flagship 4

Mobilising our Ecosystem Engineers

Helping our native wildlife apply their specialist skills to restore and maintain healthy, functioning environments.

Key implementation actions for this flagship will include:

• Maintain a fox free environment on Phillip Island into the future and investigate the potential for Phillip Island to introduce appropriate threatened species of wildlife.
• Investigate the feasibility of establishing feral predator-free sanctuaries through projects at Wilsons Promontory National Park that have the potential to enable the restoration of vegetation communities and faunal assemblages.
• Maintain existing native apex predators in natural ecosystems and, investigate the potential functional role of reintroduced native apex predators in north-west Victoria.
• Develop a Feral Cat Action Plan and review and where necessary, simplify the legislative framework to enable the control of feral cats for the protection of Victoria's biodiversity and threatened wildlife
