“Cycas armstrongii is endemic to the NT and listed as vulnerable under the TPWC Act as less than 1% of the population is included in conservation reserves...The program encourages the conservation of cycads through sustainable land management practices.”

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

TNP’s experienced and accredited indigenous contractors have conducted multiple successful Cycad salvage projects including DHA Muirhead Stage 1 & 2, Robertson Barracks and Darwin International Airport.

All translocation projects adhere to “Management Program for Cycads in the Northern Territory of Australia” (Liddle, D. 2009)
