Threat Abatement Actions
Community and stakeholder liaison, awareness and education
- Foster relationships with relevant authorities, research institutes and other States to improve understanding of the impacts of climate change and collaborative management options (Medium priority).
Research / monitoring
- Undertake research to identify the threatened species, populations and ecological communities most sensitive to human-caused climate change and the nature of the threats. Implement measures to address these threats and include/update relevant documents (e.g. approved recovery and threat abatement plans) (High priority).
- Monitor the response of biodiversity, particularly threatened species, to climate change and evaluate the success of management actions (High priority).
- Develop conservation planning tools to model scenarios and effects of climate change on threatened species and their habitats (Medium priority).
Habitat rehabilitation
- Identify priority areas to undertake habitat rehabilitation for threatened species impacted by climate change (High priority).
