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 the management of the species is conducted in an integrated manner. This will be facilitated through the formation of a Small leaved Tamarind working group that includes relevant stakeholders. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Medium
Develop and implement a monitoring program for key sites identified in the Tweed, Byron, Ballina and Lismore LGAs as identified in the recovery plan. Monitoring parameters are identified in the recovery plan. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Medium
Conduct surveys in areas of potential habitat ie warm subtropical rainforests of the NSW-Qld border lowlands and adjacent low ranges. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees High
Undertake research into aspects of the biology, ecology and genetics e.g. identification of sub-populations, gene flow, natural recruitment, breeding systems and pollination ecology to improve management of the species. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Medium
Develop a record management system to facilitate coordination of species management. This includes a site index, all available census data, habitat information, threat assessments and recovery actions. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Medium
Develop and implement a targeted education and awareness program to improve knowledge on the species conservation, threatening processes, mechanisms and incentives available to ameliorate these threats. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Medium
Ensure landholder and managers are notified of species locations in order to minimise inadvertant damage to the species. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees High
Ensure public authorities and relevant land managers are aware of the long term protection measures required to assist conservation eg appropriate zoning, VCAs, JMAs and acquisition of key sites. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees High
Undertake an assessment at each site to determine the need for detailed site-specific management planning and supply guidelines and assistance as required. Sites are identified in the recovery plan for D. campbelli. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees High
Liaise with all Councils within the range of the species to assist in the identification and mapping of D. campbelli along roadsides which can often contain remnant populations. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees High
Undertake roadside management in a manner that does not damage habitat during maintenance or widening of roads. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees High
Develop and distribute survey and assessment guidelines and profile to relevant councils and other landholders/managers to ensure potential impacts to species are assessed for potential developments. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Medium
Advise landowners and managers not to plant D. campbelli into wild sub-populations or within a buffer zone around sub-populations. Guidlelines will be prepared that advise on appropriate buffer zones. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees High
Develop and implement a licensing program to control the collection of fruit and propagation material from naturally occurring D. campbelli. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Medium
Undertake research to determine the suitability of enhancing and expanding the species current low population size. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Medium
Identify sites for future enhancment and expansion once the results of research into the feasibility of expanding the population is known. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees High
Determine the cultural importance of the species to indigenous people. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Low
Establish live ex-situ collection in collaboration with BGT - all known provenances (conservation collection). Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Medium
Develop a translocation plan when the threat of localised extinction is high. Diploglottis campbellii Small-leaved Tamarind Plant > Trees Medium
