Description

This project aims to identify practical solutions for catchment-scale restoration and threatened-species recovery in south-east Queensland (Qld). Recent extreme weather events (causing severe droughts, heat waves, wildfire and floods), habitat degradation and invasive species are posing increasing risks to the resilience and long-term persistence of highly valued and threatened freshwater species and the integrity of critical wetland habitats in the region. The project will focus on the Mary River (Moonaboola) catchment in Queensland – a hotspot of threatened freshwater and riparian species (including the Mary River turtle, Australian lungfish, giant barred frog and water mouse) that flows into the Ramsar-listed Great Sandy Strait, adjacent to the K’gari (Fraser Island) World Heritage area. By working with local catchment natural-resource management (NRM) groups, Traditional Owners, governments and other stakeholders, this project will: • fill critical knowledge gaps on threatened species distributions and habitat requirements, ecological and cultural values, and threats • prioritise on-ground restoration actions to benefit multiple threatened species • undertake targeted implementation trials of habitat-restoration measures for key species • design a monitoring program to evaluate restoration success. The project will deliver applied research outcomes to support ecosystem restoration after extreme events and planning for threatened-species recovery at national and state levels. The approaches developed and trialled in this project will be transferable to other catchments and threatened species.
