Coastal development Damage through use (vehicle tracks, camping) Land use on edges (e.g. livestock grazing) Changes to natural hydrology Climate change Strategy 2: Conserve Littoral Rainforest by managing threats from natural disturbance Relevant for: Australian, state and local government, Indigenous land managers, NRM Groups, community organisations, researchers. Manage the following threats: Invasive weeds, in particular transformer weeds Grazing by introduced herbivores, such as deer Pathogens and disease Increased fire frequency and/or intensity Strategy 3: Improve and extend Littoral Rainforest through active restoration Relevant for: Australian, state and local government, Indigenous land managers, private land owners/managers, NRM Groups, community organisations. Implement the following: Rehabilitation and restoration activities Actions to increase connectivity and create natural buffers to allow for natural migration Actions to increase the resilience of Littoral Rainforest patches Strategy 4: Engage with the broader public to increase awareness and community involvement in management and rehabilitation Relevant for: Australian, state and local government, Indigenous land managers, private land owners/managers, NRM Groups, community organisations, science organisations. Carry out the following: Engage with Indigenous land managers to help protect and rehabilitate Littoral Rainforest on country; Engage with the public and land owners/managers to promote the values of Littoral Rainforest and drive community involvement in management; Assist with funding applications for management and rehabilitation activities. Strategy 5: Research to improve knowledge of Littoral Rainforest and its conservation, and monitor and report on the status of the ecological community Relevant for: state and local governments, science organisations, Indigenous land managers, NRM Groups, community organisations. Conduct the following: Fine-scale mapping of Littoral Rainforest at local and regional management scales Prioritisation of patches for conservation activities Assess the condition of Littoral Rainforest at regional scales and report any changes to conservation status and trajectory to relevant management agencies
