5. Native species threatened by pest animals

The listed threatened species under the EPBC Act that are known or perceived to be threatened by at least one of the pest animals reviewed are shown in Table 1. Data on EPBC Act listed threatened species known or potentially threatened by the various pest animal species was constructed from the relevant threat abatement plans (Environment Australia 1999a, 1999b, 1999c, 1999d; Department of the Environment and Heritage 2003) and recovery plans, as at 2002. The list does not constitute a comprehensive list of all native species threatened by these pests, since the list includes only EPBC Act (nationally) listed threatened species, and only those for which the pests were identified as a threat at the time the data was compiled.

Table 1. EPBC Act listed threatened native species for which pest animal species have been identified as a known or perceived threat. Data were collected from the relevant pest animal threat abatement plans and recovery plans. Shaded boxes represent a listed species that is threatened by a pest animal species. Conservation status under the EPBC Act; V is Vulnerable, E is endangered, EX is extinct, and CE is critically endangered.
