Creating a Hooded Plover Stronghold on Three Hummock Island

This project is working to create a stronghold for the Hooded Plover (Thinornis rubricollis), a priority threatened species, on Three Hummock Island. Activities are designed to reduce the key threat to Hooded Plovers, namely pest animal (feral cat) predation.

The project continues previous work to protect threatened birds through the implementation of strategic feral cat control in conjunction with project partners Biosecurity Tasmania and Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service.
