About human and environmental threats
Important indigenous plants and animals continue to disappear through:
- passive recreation and overuse by people eroding or compacting soil and trampling plants
- weeds out-competing native plants
- vandalism, such as dumping and mowing, destroying native plants and spreading weeds
- new dangers to wildlife, such as foxes, roads and a lack of healthy vegetative cover.
