 An example of this is the fungus "Phytophthora cinnamomi", which numerous plant families in Freycinet National Park are susceptible to, and which also places rare and endangered species at greater risk of extinction.Visitors to the park may also inadvertently bring in seeds of weeds on clothing or equipment.One of the most serious threats faced by any species within Freycinet is the devil facial tumour which has seen the Tasmanian devil’s ("Sarcophilus harrisii") conservation status upgraded in 2008 to endangered under the "TSP Act".
