Bruny Island
This report, compiled by Dr Tonia Cochran and produced by the Threatened Species Unit (DPIWE), was published in 2003.
The report outlines in detail the threatened plant and animal species that live on Bruny Island, the listed migratory birds that frequent Bruny Island, the species of high conservation significance, and the main activities that are putting pressures on these different plant and animal species' long-term survival.
