Threatened species

Priority actions by type of threatened species

The Department of Environment and Conservation has prepared a Priorities Action Statement (PAS) to promote the recovery of threatened species and the abatement of key threatening processes in New South Wales.

The Priorities Action Statement identifies a number of broad strategies to help threatened plants and animals recover in New South Wales. Each of these strategies have more specific priority actions within them.

Select an item from the list below to see priority actions for all species of that type.

Coordinate and support implementation of recovery plan actions. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Integrate actions for this species with those from Threat Abatement Plans and other Recovery Plans occurring in the same locations. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Incorporate recovery actions into DEC reserve Plans of Management, Fire Management Plans and Rehabilitation and Restoration Plans. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Identify areas of potential habitat for the species; ground check these areas for species' potential and prioritise for surveys. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Coordinate and undertake surveys for the species in priority areas identified as potential habitat. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Record habitat details of any newly discovered species' locations; provide this information to owners of land on which these occurences are located. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs Medium
Undertake research into the genetics and reproductive biology of the species. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs Medium
(Germplasm collection and storage) Collect flowering, fruiting and vegetative material of the species from all sub-units of the species and lodge them with the NSW Herbarium. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs Low
Undertake trials to determine reproductive techniques for the ex situ propagation and cultivation of the species, and to gather information on the population dynamics of these ex-situ plantings. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Undertake research into the causes of weed invasion and disturbance regimes which favour weed establishment in the species' habitats; identify options to minimise the impacts of these processes, and develop strategies to address these impacts. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Undertake ex-situ trials to determine the impacts on the species of herbicides likely to be used in weed control programs in the species' habitat. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs Medium
Monitor implementation of recovery actions to ensure that relevant information that may assist in the conservation or management of the species will be utilised in further actions. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs Medium
Undertake monitoring of sub-units of the species to identify changes in size, distribution and age structure; and to determine whether any identified changes are related to threatening processes and/or to management actions such as weed removal. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Ensure that the species' sub-units and their habitats are considered in land acquisition identification and assessment studies and in determining priorities for acquisition. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
DEC and the Booyong Flora and Fauna Reserve Trust undertake weed control programs targeting the species' habitats in the Andrew Johnston Big Scrub NR and Booyong Flora and Fauna Reserve, and implement strategies to minimise the causes of weed invasion. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Monitor the species' locations at Inner Pocket NR, Mt Warning NP and other DEC estate and, if weed infestations are located, undertake weed control programs targeting the species' habitat and implement strategies to minimise causes of weed invasion. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Exclude domestic stock from Andrew Johnston Big Scrub NR. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Liaise with the owner of Morton's Scrub to identify and, with the consent of the owner, implement options for fencing or otherwise excluding domestic stock from the part of the species' habitat outside the present fence round the remnant. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
DEC and the Booyong Flora and Fauna Reserve Trust will not construct walking tracks within 50m of known locations. They will determine the impacts of human visitation and existing walking tracks on species' locations and minimise these impacts. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs Medium
Government agencies and other statutory agencies will take into account the habitat requirements of the species and the relevant recovery actions, when planning and implementing weed control and other relevant management programs. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Liaise with owners and managers of locations of the species to discuss and implement, with their agreement, formal voluntary management mechanisms that can implement relevant recovery actions. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Encourage and assist the development and implementation of management plans for the implementation of relevant recovery actions, for locations of the species not part of the DEC estate. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Councils record locations of the species on EP&A Act s.149 Certificates for the relevant properties. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs Medium
Ensure that relevant recovery actions are considered during any proposed changes to land use planning documents and instruments such as Local Environmental Plans and zonings. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs Medium
Negotiate with relevant Councils and landowners, and assess whether changes to the zonings of these properties might improve the conservation security of the species on these properties. Support appropriate changes to zonings as supported by landowners. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs Low
Liaise with relevant Council Bushfire Risk Management Committees to ensure that relevant Bush Fire Risk Management Plans and associated Plans of Operation take into account relevant recovery actions. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs Low

Finalise and distribute the draft threatened species profile and environmental impact assessment guidelines to relevant consent and determining authorities and to other interested persons and organisations. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Liaise with stakeholders, including relevant gorvernment agencies and landowners of species' locations, to ensure that they are aware of the relevant recovery actions, support them, and implement them where appropriate. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
Incorporate information on the species' ecology, conservation and management requirements in relevant educational and publicity material and disseminate. This material includes brochures and advisory/interpretative signage. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High

Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
As the species can be confused with two non-threatened species, prior to the implementation of any management action, plants of the species at that locality examined by an appropriately experienced person to confirm their identity. Isoglossa eranthemoides Isoglossa Plant > Herbs and Forbs High
