Giant Gippsland Earthworm
Victorian Government’s Biodiversity Response Planning Project (BRP)
In 2018, a partnership project between DELWP Gippsland, Federation University, Gippsland
Water, Latrobe Catchment Landcare Network, and South Gippsland Landcare Network was
awarded a Grant under the State Government’s Biodiversity Response Planning Project (BRP)
to promote the conservation of four species of threatened invertebrates found in the western end
of the Strzelecki Ranges. It builds on an earlier Federal Government project “Building Capability
To Manage GGE Habitat On Farms”.
The project has two aims:
•
work with landowners to ensure that habitats of Giant Gippsland Earthworm and burrowing
crayfish are protected on rural properties. This involves undertaking appropriate revegetation
and providing support for on-ground works such as deer control and fencing where required;
and
•
investigate the potential of eDNA to assist in identifying different species of burrowing crayfish in the field.
