Within the context of the Swan Coastal Plain, the decrease in patches of remnant vegetation, in particular Banksia woodlands, is a continuous threat that is affecting the natural flow of environmental networks across the region. Termites, although small, impact the larger ecosystem on multiple scales, influencing soil condition which subsequently impacts multiple species and ecosystems. Although they can hold a negative impact to the human-dominated world, their impact within bushlands is significant, helping environments flourish by influencing soil condition which subsequently impacts flora ecosystems; bushfire prevention; and fauna habitats, re-nourishing these once biodiverse environments through recycling nutrients within the soil.
The design encompasses three strategies; Termite Haven; Banksia Highway; and Banksia Restoration. Termite Haven is a novel environment created as a space that is most desirable and ideal for termites to reside in. It is an area characterised by low points for water collection
