The ACT Government, in collaboration with the Australian National Botanical Gardens, is undertaking a translocation project to re-establish wild and self-sustaining populations of the Small Purple Pea (Swainsona recta) in the ACT region. Minister for the Environment Rebecca Vassarotti said that the translocation of the small herb from the Australian National Botanical Gardens into the wild is important to help conserve and restore the delicate ecosystems of the Territory. "The Small Purple Pea is nationally and locally listed as an endangered species, but its role in our local environment is important to maintain our unique biodiversity," Minister Vassarotti said.
