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.
