Research, monitoring and related actions within this threat abatement plan, arranged under the strategic action themes                                                                                                                              WABSI research project priorities, arranged under the focal areas
Prioritise and plan using evidence
2.1. Prioritise cat-free islands on which surveillance monitoring for cat incursions should be established                                                                                                                                          No direct equivalent. Required in the TAP to prioritise investment in on ground actions at the national scale
2.2. Prioritise islands for cat eradication, to protect cat-susceptible species and potentially support island translocations                                                                                                                       No direct equivalent. Required in the TAP to prioritise investment in on ground actions at the national scale
2.3. Prioritise subregions (including islands) for new cat-free haven creation, to support translocations of extremely and highly cat-susceptible mammals and potentially species from other groups                                                 No direct equivalent. Required in the TAP to prioritise investment in on ground actions at the national scale
