Protecting Paradise
Biosecurity is the protection of our economy, environment and community from pests, diseases, weeds and contaminants. It keeps our World Heritage-listed island free from pests animals, plants and pathogens, and protects our rare native species and unique island ecosystem.
Our Biosecurity Rules
The Island’s biosecurity rules are different from those for the rest of NSW and the Australian mainland. Lord Howe has removed invasive mammals including cats, goats, and pigs, and more recently, rats and mice. We have also successfully eradicated pathogens such as myrtle rust and are halfway through a bold 30-year weed eradication program. By eradicating invasive pests and preventing their reintroduction, we can protect the many species that are found nowhere else on earth and safeguard Lord Howe’s pristine environment.
How You Can Help
Under the Biosecurity Act 2015, everyone has a general biosecurity duty to prevent, eliminate or minimise any biosecurity risks they encounter. When visiting Lord Howe Island, you can assist by:
