List of Victorian & birds & their

LAND FOR'" Landfor Wildlife Note No. 5 August 1990 lY,¼n- n:m "-t:�}�;���:i; Key words: Endanger, Extinction - mammals, birds, Conservation status, Mammals - list, Birds - list Area: Statewide W: 12-Ex-05 Author: WMB This list of mammals and birds includes all species recorded for including those that are now extinct in Victoria. Some birds that are rarely recorded visitors to Victoria are not listed. Alien species which have established feral populations are indicated by an asterisk(*). You may wish to use the list to compile a checklist of species observed on your property. The definitions used for conservation status categories are those of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as listed below. "Taxa" is used to describe species or sub-species (including those still undescribed). Where no generally accepted common name exists, the species name is inserted instead. Whilst this list deals with the species status throughout Victoria, many more speciesmay be threatened at a local level.

(X) Extinct: taxa not definitely located in the wild in Victoria during the past fiftyyears. {E) Endangered: taxa in danger of extinction in Victoria and whose survival is unlikely if the causal factors continue. {V) Vulnerable: taxa believed likely to move into the 'Endangered' category in the near future if the causal factors continue operating. (R) Rare: taxa with small Victorian populations that are not at present 'Endangered' or 'Vulnerable', but are at risk. (I) Indeterminate: taxa known to be 'Endangered', 'Vulnerable' or 'Rare' in Victoria, but where there is not enough information to say which of the three categories is appropriate. {?) Insufficientlyknown: taxa in Victoria that are suspected but not definitely known to belong to any of the above categories, because of lack of information. (C) Restricted Colonial Breeding: Under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988) a critical habitat can be determined to apply to any Victorian native taxon. Critical habitat should include routine living areas, concentration points for special life-cycle events (nesting, mating, refuge etc.) and dispersal routes. Because they are at risk, taxa with only a few colonial breeding or roosting sites in Victoria have been included in the list of threatened fauna. Threatened: a general term used to denote any of the above.
