Systematically examines the relationship between invasive species management (ISM) and human wellbeing in the Australian context.
Drawing on published and grey literature alongside a stakeholder focus group the review explores 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.
