Monitoring Threatened Species and Ecological Communities

30 Monitoring Threatened Species and Ecological Communities

Table 3.1. Assessment of the extent and adequacy of monitoring for Australian terrestrial mammal taxa of
conservation concern.

Summed monitoring score is the tally of monitoring scores (on a 0 (no monitoring) to 5 (optimal monitoring) point scale) across the nine monitoring
metrics described in Chapter 2; hence the maximum possible score is 45. Note that there may be some redundancy in this scoring in cases where a
species and one or more of its subspecies are listed. For conservation status IUCN is the IUCN Red List (i.e. listing at international scale), EPBC Act is the
Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (i.e. formal national listing of Australian threatened species), and MAP is the assessment
of conservation status given in the Mammal Action Plan (Woinarski et al. 2014), with IUCN and EPBC Act status as at July 2017. Empty cells in conserva-
tion status indicate no given status. Conservation status: CR(PE) Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct); CR Critically Endangered; EN Endangered; VU
Vulnerable; NT(CD) Near Threatened (Conservation Dependent); NT Near Threatened; DD Data Deficient; LC Least Concern.
