Management Interventions for 119 Priority Animal Species

MANAGEMENT INTERVENTIONS FOR 119 PRIORITY ANIMAL SPECIES

This table identified priority management interventions for 119 animal species identified as high priority for urgent management intervention following the 2019-20 bushfires. Developed by the Wildlife and Threatened Species Bushfire Recovery Expert Panel, this analysis of actions will help guide post-fire management and conservation responses. Actions were based on consensus opinion across many experts and are intended to inform the management response immediately, and in the first year, post bushfire. While these actions are intended to support the management response for bushfire-affected species, this information should not be the only consideration of decision makers when focusing investment and effort. a The likely priority actions have been based on the analysis of species' traits. Some activities will require permits and permission of the public land manager. b Survey to establish extent of population loss, and establish baseline for ongoing monitoring. c This includes careful management of unburnt areas within or adjacent to recently burnt ground that provide refuges; also unburnt areas that are not adjacent to burnt areas. Includes protection from extensive, intense fire. d These columns indicate whether the actions are potentially suitable and feasible in the first year after fire, and record what action have taken place to date. In most cases, opportunities to salvage individuals and populations as a 'rescue' action are now past, but there may still be opportunities to capture wild animals to stock captive breeding programs, to carry out wild-to-wild translocations to unburnt habitat and to safe havens (fenced areas and islands), in future years and these are noted for some species. e Careful risk assessment is required in all cases. f Where appropriate, note that food and water provision may be less relevant as time goes on. g Note that many forest-dependent fauna are disadvantaged by post-fire salvage logging, especially hollow-dependent species, so an action to limit post-fire salvage logging will benefit most species. As well as priority actions for the first year post-fire, some key longer-term actions are indicated for some species.
