The following information is common to the reports on each place: t Area and locational information is derived from the Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database and from a departmental Marine Protected Areas dataset–which includes data sourced from Geoscience Australia t The World Conservation Union (IUCN) protected area management category is identified for each reserve, and where some of the reserve are assigned to different categories this is indicated. The IUCN categories are formally assigned under the EPBC Act, and schedule 8 of the EPBC Regulations defines the Australian IUCN reserve management principles applying to each category. t Where possible, each reserve’s biogeographic context is described by reference to the national biogeographic regionalisations: terrestrial (Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia) or marine (Interim Marine and Coastal Regionalisation for Australia). t The report summarises the relevance of international agreements to each reserve, recognising both the international significance of the reserves and the Director’s legal responsibility to take account of Australia’s obligations under each agreement. t The report summarises the occurrence in each reserve of species listed under the EPBC Act as threatened, migratory or marine, and the status of relevant recovery plans. t Information on the total number of different types of plant and animal species recorded for each place is included, to the extent of available knowledge.

  • Threatened Species Strategy Year 3 Scorecard – Norfolk Island Boobook Owl
    Threatened Species Strategy – Year 3 Priority Species Scorecard (2018) Norfolk Island Boobook Ninox novaeseelandiae undulata Key Findings Norfolk Island Boobook Owls nearly became extinct in the 1980s, following extensive historic clearing of habitat and nesting trees. Very few natural nesting sites remain on the island and the small population of owls is now highly inbred. Conservation efforts have focused on securing nest sites and culling nest competitors, such as introduced rosellas, however there has been no successful breeding observed since 2012. Photo: Amy Svendsen Significant trajectory change from 2005-15 to 2015-18? No, population currently stable, although outlook is poor. Priority future actions • Research to determine whether genetic constraints or poor nestbox placement are the primary reasons for the apparent lack of breeding • Intensive crimson rosella and rat control to reduce the risk of predation and competition • Provide and maintain rat proof nest boxes for roosting and breeding both within the national park and community wide where breeding birds are known to occur Full assessment information Background information 2018 population trajectory assessment 1. Conservation status and taxonomy 8. Expert elicitation for population trends 2. Conservation history and prospects 9. Immediate priorities from 2019 3. Past and current trends 10. Contributors 4. Key threats 11. Legislative documents 5. Past and current management 12. References 6. Support from the Australian Government 13. Citation 7. Measuring progress towards conservation The primary purpose of this scorecard is to assess progress against achieving the year three targets outlined in the Australian Government’s Threatened Species Strategy, including estimating the change in population trajectory of 20 bird species.
