Yellow crazy ant pest surveys in areas adjoining the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area

This project will conduct fine scale luring surveys of yellow crazy ants in high risk areas adjoining the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Surveys will focus on about 1000 hectares and includes residential and public areas, sugar cane farms and areas flagged for or currently undergoing residential development. Survey activities will provide valuable data to the Eradication Program to focus treatments and allow for the re-establishment of native fauna. This project will target community engagement for reducing spread into the World Heritage Area (WHA) and protect and conserve threatened species of the Wet Tropics.
