Lack of recognition by the public in general of what is indigenous grasslands is a major threat. Lack of funding and resources in both the public (DSE) and provate sectors to protect and maintain these areas is also a major threat. Good luck with the campaign.

Destruction of an area of indigenous vegetation reduces habitat and changes the balance of species. In my town I have noticed that where there is remnant grassland vegetation, weeds just don't have an opportunity to take over. We need our remnant grasslands to be protected to ensure healthy, self-sustaining habitat.
