      "text": "Safe havens are an important conservation tool for protecting threatened species from invasive predators and other pests. They include fenced areas, islands where predators have been removed, fenced peninsulas, private conservation reserves, sanctuaries and some national parks.\n\nThis project assessed how well Australia’s current safe-haven network protects threatened non-mammalian fauna, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. It also identified where future safe havens could provide the greatest conservation benefit under climate change.\n\nThe research found that Australia’s current mainland fenced safe-haven network offers limited protection for threatened non-mammal species. Many existing safe havens were originally designed to protect mammals from cats and foxes but threatened non-mammal species face a wider range of threats, including rats, pigs, trout, weeds, pathogens and problematic native species.\n\nThe project used species distribution modelling and spatial prioritisation to identify high-value areas for future safe havens. These priority areas can help guide investment in new or adapted safe havens that are designed around the threats faced by different species.\nThe project found that Australia’s current mainland fenced safe-haven network provides limited protection for threatened non-mammal species.\n\nKey findings include:\n* 74 mainland fenced safe havens were identified across Australia.\n* Of these, 54 were functional, 14 were proposed or under construction, and six were non-functional.\n* Only two of the 123 target species were known to occur within current fenced safe havens.\n* A further six species occurred in small, purpose-built fenced havens.\n* None of the 45 species modelled had suitable future habitat overlapping with current functional fenced safe havens.\n* Seventeen modelled species had suitable future habitat within 10 km of a current functional fenced safe haven.\n* Only nine of those species were threatened by large terrestrial pests that could potentially be excluded by current mainland fencing designs.\nThese findings show that improving protection for threatened non-mammal species will require careful planning of where safe havens are located, which species they target, and what threats they are designed to manage.",
