The Eastern Forests of Far North Queensland are home to a wealth of threatened species impacted by invasive pests, such as feral animals (e.g., cats and pigs), weeds (e.g., lantana) and changed fire regimes. This project will form a partnership between government departments, non-profits and First Nations peoples to improve the condition of habitat for these native species by reducing key threats. Project activities will be focused within the thin wet sclerophyll band that occurs at the ecotone of dry open woodland and the western edge of World Heritage Wet Tropics rainforest on the Mount Carbine Tableland. Key threatened species include the northern bettong, yellow-bellied glider and northern greater glider.
