Carrying out plant conservation work (e.g., relocations, translocations, habitat creation, habitat restoration) carries a risk of the inadvertent introduction of pests and pathogens into sensitive habitats. Thereby negating the objectives of the work. For example, there are several species of Phytophthora (fungal-like plant pathogens) which are ideally suited to surviving and spreading within plant production facilities. If measures are not taken, pathogens can be introduced from the nursery or from soil on machinery/tools into the wider environment on plants during conservation activities. Every phase of the process from the production of the plants, to planting at the restoration site, to movement of machinery and soil needs to be considered. The framework below describes actions that could be taken to reduce the risks of, and increase resilience to, plant pests without identification of specific plant pests.
