Abstract

The NSW Bitou Bush Threat Abatement Plan (TAP) aims to reduce the impacts of bitou bush on biodiversity in New South Wales. This is the first weed TAP in Australia and so its effectiveness in conserving threatened biodiversity, as well as its cost of implementation, must be examined to determine if this new approach should be adopted as the template for managing the biodiversity impacts of other major weed species. We therefore consider the question "is the TAP a good investment in relation to protecting biodiversity?".
