OUTCOME 1: CONSERVATION Tuart and its ecosystems will be adequately conserved and sustainably managed in reserves and on private lands AIM: Maintain or improve biodiversity and ecological functioning in tuart woodlands Targets Strategies 6. By 2010 at least 50 per cent of tuart woodland remnants show maintenance and/or improvement in condition • Continue to identify threatened species, populations, ecological communities, and critical habitats and threatening processes. • Develop risk-based management, recovery plans, and threat abatement plans. • Plan fire regimes that integrate: (i) the conservation of tuart biodiversity, and (ii) the protection of threatened tuart ecological communities, habitats and species, and community assets. • Develop a Government-community based approach for management of degraded tuart woodlands at Yalgorup. 7. Designated biodiversity elements of tuart woodlands are identified, conserved and/or protected by Q2 2008 • Develop standards and continue developing remote sensing and ground-truthing methods to monitor the health of tuart woodlands • Ensure key elements of tuart biodiversity such as tuart ecosystems at the edge of range, threatened species and threatened ecological communities are conserved and protected. AIM: Manage weeds and pests in tuart woodlands Targets Strategies 8. By Q4 2008 designated weed and pest species have been reduced • Prepare, adopt and implement guidelines for the best management of weed and pest species in tuart woodlands. • Improve coordination of weed and pest control between agencies and land managers. 33
OUTCOME 1: CONSERVATION Tuart and its ecosystems will be adequately conserved and sustainably managed in reserves and on private lands AIM: Integrate the protection and sustainable management of tuart occurrences off reserves Targets Strategies 9. Guidelines for tuart protection and land management are introduced by Q1 2006 • Introduce best practice guidelines for land managers aimed at optimising both tuart retention and land productivity. • Undertake cost and benefit studies for retaining and managing tuart woodlands proposed for development. 10. The number of private properties actively engaged in tuart conservation increases annually 11. The number of enterprises operating with an integrated tuart conservation and commercial property plan is increased 12. By Q4 2008 former tuart woodlands are re-established on 3,000 hectares • Ensure extension officers are available to promote the guidelines and provide implementation support. • Increase the awareness of protection measures necessary for tuart conservation and management. • Undertake a study to quantify appropriate benchmarks. • Ensure environmental management systems implemented by agricultural, development and industry businesses address tuart conservation and management objectives. . • Develop a strategy for the regeneration of former tuart woodland sites and the rehabilitation and restoration of degraded areas, including funding arrangements for community groups and integration with Natural Resource Management plans. 13. A policing capacity for tuart conservation and management is established by Q3 2006 14. Controls under the new ‘Biodiversity Conservation Act’ are implemented by Q1 2006 13 . • Develop a tuart genetic bank that reflects tuart’s natural diversity and provides for long-term supply. • Develop Government and community-based protocols that support the application of the Environmental Protection Act amendments for the Protection of Native Vegetation in Western Australia. • Undertake a study to quantify appropriate benchmarks. • Ensure the use of biological resources of tuart woodlands is ecologically sustainable. 13 This target is dependent upon the development and passing of a new Biodiversity Conservation Act. 34
