... Vision statements and key action statements are primary and useful tools for threatened species recovery and threat abatement. In this chapter I provide a view of the necessary vision and key action statements. Listing a species or biological entity through threatened species legislation may...

... This paper focuses on the relationship between threatened species listing and command regulation designed to protect habitat on privately owned land. After outlining the historical development of threatened species regulation in NSW from its early origins in legislation designed to control...

... Invertebrates dominate both terrestrial and aquatic environments in terms of their diversity, yet few have been listed as threatened. Does this really mean that few species are threatened, or is it more likely that we just do not know enough about invertebrate populations? Realistically, given...

... The paper examines the Commonwealth and New South Wales threatened species legislation from the perspective of local communities and a local government seeking to protect threatened species. Both the Commonwealth and State legislation are identified potentially to be useful tools, providing...

... Governments in Australia and elsewhere in the world use legislation to conserve species and other elements of biodiversity that are threatened by human activities. This forum examined to what extent relying on the legislative process is justified and, in particular, considered the effectiveness...

... In NSW, threatened species conservation operates through legislation. When the government of NSW introduced these Acts, it integrated the threatened species legislation with the planning legislation and so consideration of threatened species issues became a mandatory part of the planning system...

... threatened species legislation. ...

... The difficulties in applying threatened species legislation, which has a general vertebrate and vascular plant focus, to invertebrates, have been widely recognised. Nevertheless, such legislation provides valuable opportunities to promote invertebrate conservation that were previously available...

... The usefulness of listing individual marine species under Threatened Species legislation is discussed with respect to the characteristics of the marine environment and its biota. It is suggested that, apart from ‘flagship species’, this is not a useful strategy to follow. Instead, habitats need...

... under the Threatened Species legislation and encouraging farmers to prepare property management plans. The preferred NPWS position is to continue to issue licences under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 for a further three years during which time farmers are expected to take all reasonable means...

... Impact Statement, under the NSW threatened species legislation. Eight-part-tests that conclude no significant impact, perhaps with mitigation works, are often accepted despite questions about their validity. A conclusion that there is likely to be a significant impact will not necessarily halt...

... on public land in New South Wales. The Act prevents threatened species being classified as pest animals. An application to list dingoes as a threatened species under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 creates the potential for conflict between these two Acts. In this paper we describe...

... of regulated and unregulated activity. Research also aimed to investigate broad patterns of administrative behaviour in implementing relevant legislation. The implementation of the Native Vegetation Conservation Act 1997 and the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 in relation to PNF were examined...

... of the difficulties of trying to balance conservation in a legislative framework using the Integrated Forestry Operations Approvals (IFOA) Threatened Species Licence (TSL) process in NSW. Several problems have arisen since the implementation of the IFOA TSL that need to be resolved to improve forest management...

...)) predates the recognition of climate change as a major threat to biodiversity and they need to be adapted to respond to climate change pressures on biodiversity. Here it is recommended that species sensitive to effects of climate change should be included on threatened species lists under the NSW...

... sized remnants may evoke public attention, small developments are often approved without adequate attention to the long term impact on even the threatened species of the Plain. In this paper we provide examples of the way in which remnants that may be only a single housing lot in size, can be habitat...

..., Nioveoscincus palfreymani, is considered to be threatened. Habitat for most species is well reserve d but human impacts on unreserved land have reduced the amount of available habitat for some specie s (e.g., Utoria raniformis) and these need monitoring. Distributional and abundance data are incomplete...
