Import Risk Analysis of Fox Entry Pathways - BPB Report

Overview of Risk Reduction Management Measures that could be taken against Fox Entry Pathways into Tasmania

Report Summary

Quarantine measures for protecting and maintaining Tasmania's high standard of biosecurity must be periodically checked to ensure they remain fit-for-purpose. As part of this ongoing process, DPIW is reviewing risk measures that currently apply to matters of particularly serious quarantine concern to the State, such as that posed by the potential introduction of the exotic vermin, the European red fox, Vulpes vulpes. Each quarantine risk review undertaken is informed by contemporary Import Risk Analysis (IRA) method which provides a scientifically credible, transparent foundation for policy decisions about quarantine measures.
