Who is fighting it? 

Project Dieback

Project Dieback is a cross regional natural resource management (NRM) project that aims to find bushland, heathlands, woodlands and forests which are currently free of Phytophthora dieback across the south-west of Western Australia. One of the most important outcomes of the project will be to identify priority dieback protection areas across the south west. The project is identifying these areas through the use of a risk assessment methodology and collating the known distribution of the disease. The project is one of the components of the State Phytophthora dieback policy framework and is a partnership between the South Coast NRM Inc, Perth NRM, Avon Catchment Council, South West Catchment Council, Northern Agricultural Council and the Department of Environment & Conservation.
