WHERE Tristan da Cunha
Summary
Strengthened local capacity for improving biosecurity and monitoring breeding land-bird populations and their habitats in the Tristan Group islands informs improved conservation management at Tristan da Cunha. Improved biosecurity for inter-island movement of people and goods and a robust rodent incursion plan for Inaccessible and Nightingale, will ensure these uninhabited islands home to threatened endemic land-birds and the smallest flightless bird in the world, remain rodent-free. Tristan Conservation will lead and manage a Darwin Plus project for the first time.
