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 implementation of recovery actions to ensure an integrated and coordinated approach to management. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees Medium
Develop record-keeping system of all known populations to facilitate coordination of management and identification of knowledge gaps. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees Medium
Review existing knowledge of known populations, identify information gaps, prioritise and arrange site surveys where necessary. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees High
Incorporate all current and new records into the NSW DEC Atlas of Wildlife. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees Medium
Develop and distribute survey and assessment guidelines to ensure adequate consideration of impacts. Content of the guidelines is identified in the recovery plan for the species. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees High
Notify relevant landowners and managers of locations of the species on their lands and liaise with these landholders to facilitate long term protection of each site. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees High
Prepare site specific management plans to ensure that threats at each site are appropriately prioritised and managed. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees High
Weeds such as Ground Asparagus at Brunswick Heads Nature Reserve, Lantana at Mooball NP and Camphor laurel and Privet at other locations such as Pimpama and Mullumbimby require control. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees High
Place physical barriers at or near the Marshalls Creek Nature Reserve boundary to minimise disturbance from adjacent developments. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees High
Advise councils and Roads and Traffic Authority on measures to protect roadside populations from the impacts of disturbance from roadworks, herbicide and slashing. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees High
Maintain buffer zones to prevent the possible adverse effects of the movement of genetic material between cultivated Crystal creek Walnuts and naturally occurring populations. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees High
Ensure this species requirements for fire management are incorporated into the Rural Fire Services Code for Hazard Reduction schedules on threatened species. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees High
Initiate a program of systematic census data collection and observations of flowering and fruiting patterns at representative sites (e.g. all sites in National Park and Nature Reserves). Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees Medium
Undertake research into genetics and the reproductive biology of the Crystal Creek Walnut e.g. fertility, pollination and dispersal vectors, germination rates and environmental constraints to germination and seedling recruitment to inform management. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees Medium
Collate information on the origin and reproductive status of the species in public collections to ascertain whether these plantings are a source for population enhancement or reintroduction programs. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees Medium
Assess the need for collection of representative genetic material from populations of the Crystal Creek Walnut to aid conservation of the species in the event of a catastrophic stochastic event. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees Medium
Enhance recovery implementation by integrating implementation of actions for this species with other recovery actions and plans for other similar species. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees Medium
Raise community awareness of the recovery requirements for this species by distributing education material to relevant stakeholders such as Landcare groups. Endiandra floydii Crystal Creek Walnut Plant > Trees High
