How do we
manage threatened species? - A case study with Tetratheca
juncea occurring over coal leases
Tetratheca juncea is a vulnerable plant that occurs on
much of the land leased by coal mining companies in the Lake Macquarie
region in NSW. As its presence may place major restrictions on any
disturbance events, the species is of great importance to the future
planning and development of the coal industry.
This ACARP funded project aims to improve the understanding of the
biology and ecology of Tetratheca juncea. The CMLR research
will assist in the development of a recovery management plan and
provide a model case study for approaches that could be adopted
for the conservation and management of threatened species affecting
the coal mining industry.
