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.

Maintain regular communication with other parties to ensure a coordinated approach to the implementation of the recovery plan. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Investigate seed viability, germination, dormancy and longevity (in natural environment and in storage). Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs Medium
Coordinate targeted surveys in potential habitat for the species. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Prepare and distribute survey and environmental assessment guidelines. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Undertake an assessment of the status of the species on the TSC Act and EPBC Act to determine if it should be nominated as a critically endangered species. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs Medium
Liaise with landowners and managers to protect populations of the species that occur outside DEC-managed estate. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Undertake field identification training for staff from the DEC, Forests NSW and local councils. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Review and maintain all records of the species in the Atlas of NSW Wildlife. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Implement a roadside marking system for the species where it occurs near roads. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Liaise with Forests NSW, the RTA and Lismore City Council to minimise the risk of damage to the species during road maintenance activities. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Undertake a survey and site assessment for the Mallanganee population of the species. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Coordinate the monitoring of populations of the species. Monitoring will include collection of data on the species biology, ecology, population size and its response to disturbance. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Support research into the biology and ecology of the species that is likely to result in improved management. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs Medium
Support genetic research into the species. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs Medium
Review advances in knowledge for the species and incorporate it into relevant management plans and procedures. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Continue weed control in known habitat for the species within DEC estate. This will be in accordance with approved bush regeneration plans. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Support off-park weed control programs aimed at protecting the species. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Maintain site confidentiality of species records. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Reserve Fire management Strategy include operational guidelines to protect this species from fire. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Support the maintenance of an ex-situ representative from each genetically distinct population of the species in an appropriate location. Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs High
Collect seed for NSW Seedbank. Develop collection program in collaboration with BGT - all known provenances (conservation collection). Rapanea sp. A Richmond River Ripple-leaf Muttonwood Plant > Shrubs Medium
