What are SREs and Why Are They Important
Briefly: short-range endemics (SREs) are organisms that have restricted distributions. Within the context of the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority (WAEPA), the term is usually applied to invertebrates. SREs are recognised as environmental values that my be threatened by human activities involving large scale land modification such as mining.
