Appendix 1 Wildlife in the Riverina These species lists were supplied by the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service from the Atlas of New South Wales Wildlife electronic database (May 2002). It includes all records for the Riverina Bioregion, some of which date back to the 17 and 1800’s. Therefore, some species in these lists that have a historical distribution in the region are not found in the region today.
