Priority threat management of invasive animals to protect biodiversity in the Lake Eyre Basin - Summary version

In this document we recommend an appraised set of strategies for managing invasive animals to conserve threatened flora and fauna of Australia’s iconic Lake Eyre Basin (LEB). The basin is one of the largest internally- draining river systems in the world, comprising one- sixth of the Australian continent. Overall, we find that ignoring climate change while deciding how to invest efforts and budgets to control invasive animals will not identify the most efficient opportunities for conserving biodiversity.
