Invasive Species Management and Wellbeing in Australia: A Scoping Review

Invasive Species Management and Wellbeing in Australia: A Scoping Review is a report commissioned by the Victorian Rabbit Action Network (VRAN) and supported by the Victorian Government’s Partnership Against Pests Program. Authored by Jesse Kenny, Invasive Species Management and Wellbeing in Australia is the first review of its kind to systematically examine the relationship between invasive species management (ISM) and human wellbeing in the Australian context. It draws on published and grey literature alongside a stakeholder focus group to explore how involvement in ISM affects mental health and community wellbeing — and how wellbeing, in turn, shapes people’s capacity to act. The review identifies a genuine and important research gap, and presents fifteen practical opportunities for government, community organisations, NRM practitioners, and researchers to improve outcomes for both people and the environments they steward.

VRAN is sharing this review broadly because we believe its findings are relevant across the agriculture, environment and health sectors — from government agencies and NRM networks to community groups, Traditional Owner organisations, and the research community. VRAN hopes that the review will stimulate conversation, inform policy and program design, and open new pathways for collaboration.
