This social research project was funded by the Community Forest Agreement – Alternatives to 1080 Program.  The objective of the project was to better understand how landholders made decisions about native browsing animal control and what motivated their particular control strategy.  It involved a mailout survey to landholders across Tasmania who had had a permit to control native browsing animals sometime in the last five years.  This was followed up by 90 in-depth face-to-face interviews with a range of landholders - some who had never used 1080, some who had used 1080 sometime in the past and some who currently used 1080.
