The Western Swamp Tortoise is the one of the most endangered tortoises on earth and one of Australia's most endangered species. The EPA therefore emphasises through this guidance statement and the Environmental Protection (Western Swamp Tortoise Habitat) Policy 2011 that protection of the Western Swamp Tortoise and its habitat are critical.
The content of this guideline has not been updated to reflect the EPA’s revised policy framework.
