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.

Establish a data recording system for the species. Floydia praealta Ball Nut Plant > Trees Low
Ensure regional fire plans, hazard reduction burn guidelines include protocols for protecting rainforest habitats. Floydia praealta Ball Nut Plant > Trees Medium
Assist interested landholders to fence paddock trees and rainforest remnants to facilitate natural regeneration. Floydia praealta Ball Nut Plant > Trees Medium
Prevent rainforest habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation. Floydia praealta Ball Nut Plant > Trees High
Encourage the community to participate in the detection of Ball Nut at new locations, and encourage their participation in habitat rehabilitation projects. Floydia praealta Ball Nut Plant > Trees Low
