The document discusses strategies implemented at Mt Hotham to maintain biodiversity, including developing a "love tunnel" to help the endangered Mountain Pygmy Possum survive by allowing it to safely cross a road, as well as conducting native replanting programs. Factors like habitat loss may affect the survival of the possum. Recycling programs can also help maintain biodiversity by reducing waste.
