[C4OC] Too Good to Spoil, Too Precious to Lose: biosecurity for biodiversity

Too Good to Spoil, Too Precious to Lose (TGTS-TPTL) aims to significantly upgrade Kangaroo Island’s biosecurity and safeguard its unique standing as a biodiversity refuge and conservation haven of Southern Australia. This project will minimize the risk of future pest invasions by developing and implementing a comprehensive capacity building and surveillance program that empowers Islanders to build a frontline defence against new pest invasions and existing infestations. Underpinned by a targeted visitor education program and the redevelopment of biosecurity strategies and response plans, Kangaroo Island (KI) will adopt an approach of prevention rather than cure.
