Monitoring Threatened Species and Ecological Communities

5 – The extent and adequacy of monitoring for Australian threatened frog species^61

Table 5.1. List of threatened Australian frog species, and an assessment of their extent and adequacy of
monitoring.
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. IUCN is the IUCN Red List (i.e. listing at international scale) and EPBC Act is the
Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (i.e. formal national listing of Australian threatened species). Conservation status: CR =
Critically Endangered, EN = Endangered, VU = Vulnerable, LC = Least Concern.
