While the importance of sites such as the Ramsar-listed Roebuck Bay and Eighty Mile Beach are well documented, other sites along the often remote coast are lesser known. In October and November 2012, a team of BirdLife Australia staff and volunteers, Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW, formerly DEC, Department of Environment and Conservation) personnel and members of the local community embarked on an expedition to investigate the importance of the Ningaloo and Exmouth Gulf coast and islands to shorebirds. This project was made possible through funding from Coastwest. The Exmouth Gulf is one of the largest embayments along Breakfast with the birds at Cape Range National the Western Australian coast. Much of the gulf is dominated by dense mangroves and mudflats backed by extensive Park (see also p2). Photo by Leanne Reaney supratidal saltflats.

  • The Subspecies of Diplodactylus Spinigerus (Lacertilia: Gekkonidae)
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus. 1988.14(2): 177-182 The subspecies of Diplodactylus spinigerus (Lacertilia: Gekkonidae) G.M. Storr* Abstract The gecko Diplodactylus spinigerus is endemic to southern Western Australia. It is divisible into two subspecies: D. s. spinigerus Gray of the west coast and D. s. inornatus subsp. novo from further east. Introduction Diplodactylus spinigerus, a member of the subgenus Strophurus, is closely related to the Diplodactylus ciliaris complex (Storr 1988) and occupies that part of Western Australia which lies to the west and south of the southernmost members of the complex, namely D. assimilis and D. intermedius (see Figure 1). • D. s. spinigerus ... D. s. inornatus southern boundary of D. ciliaris complex • Figure I Map of southern Western Australia showing location of specimens of D. s. spinigerus and D. S. inornatus and of southern boundary of D. ciliaris complex. * Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000. 177 Subspecies of Diplodactylus spinigerus For some time naturalists have been aware that there was a considerable geog­ raphic gap and morphologic difference between the west coast and wheat belt populations of D. spinigerus. However, that gap (100-140 km wide) has proved not to mark the boundary between the two forms. The present revision has un­ expectedly revealed that it is the few kilometres between the top and bottom of the Darling Scarp that separate the two. This paper is based on specimens in the Western Australian Museum (R prefix omitted from catalogue numbers) and on colour slides kindly loaned by G. Harold, R.E.Johnstone, M. Peterson and B.

It is a Union of sovereign states, govern- ment agencies and non-governmental organizations concerned with the initia- tion and promotion of scientifically-based action that will ensure perpetuation of the living world - man's natural environment - and the natural resources on which all living things depend, not only for their intrinsic cultural or scientific values but also for the long-term economic and social welfare of mankind. This objective can be achieved through active conservation programmes for the wise use of natural resources based on scientific principles. IUCN believes that its aims can be achieved most effectively by international effort in cooperation with other international agencies, such as Unesco and FAO. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an international charitable organization dedicated to saving the world's wildlife and wild places, carrying out the wide variety of programmes and actions that this entails. WWF was established in 1961 under Swiss law, with headquarters also in Morges. Since 1961, IUCN has enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with its sister organiza- tion, the World Wildlife Fund, with which it works closely throughout the world on projects of mutual interest.

This Program provides a brief description of the appearance, distribution, habitat and conservation status of flora declared as rare under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act (Threatened Flora) and poorly known flora (Priority Flora) in CALM's Esperance District and makes recommendations for research and management action necessary to ensure their continued survival. By ranking the Declared Rare Flora in priority order according to these requirements, Departmental staff and resources can be allocated to those taxa most urgently in need of attention. Priority Flora that are under consideration for declaration as rare are also dealt with, but in less detail than the Declared Rare Flora.
