Climate Resilience for Biodiversity

CLIMATE RESILIENCE

Planning for biodiversity adaptation

OCTOBER 2025

New Project to remove forest-smothering turbina vine

The Wet Tropics has amazing biodiversity but is also highly vulnerable to climate hazards like cyclones, floods and heatwaves.

This region has been chosen for a new project to help us all to make plans for biodiversity adaption.

It will draw on local knowledge and spatial mapping, assess the work that’s already happening here and identify priority actions and areas.

The first step is an online webinar to introduce the project, get feedback and outline participation opportunities.

Online webinars will be held on:
Thursday 30th October 2025 4pm-5pm
Tuesday 4th November 2025 4pm-5pm
Thursday 6th November 2025 12-1pm
Tuesday 25th November 2025 12-1pm
Thursday 27th November 2025 4-5pm

This project is a James Cook and Griffith Universities partnership with support from the Wet Tropics Management Authority and Terrain NRM. It’s funded through the Australian Government under the National Environmental Science Program.
