Establish corridors to improve connectivity in priority locations (including cross-tenure) to provide biodiversity outcomes.
Why it is important?
Re-establishing vegetation connections through the landscape will provide positive environmental benefits, support wildlife movement and improve sustainability for agricultural systems.
Examples of Local Action
- Consolidate existing vegetation and planted areas in the Lake Barrine-Lake Eacham corridor.
- Establish aerial (eg. rope crossings) or vegetated crossings between vegetation patches to minimise barriers and disruption to wildlife movements.
- Minimise disruptions to wildlife movement from roads by protecting roadside vegetation and installing overpasses and underpasses.
- Important areas for revegetation include Curtain Fig – Wongabel – Herberton Range.
