"At the commencement of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) the list of threatened species, ecological communities and threatening processes consisted only of those previously listed under the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992. Under the EPBC Act new categories have been added for listed threatened species and ecological communities. Critically endangered, conservation dependant and extinct in the wild have been added to the previous categories of endangered, vulnerable and extinct for threatened species and critically endangered and vulnerable have been added to the previous category of endangered for ecological communities. The definition of a species under the EPBC Act includes sub-species and distinct populations that the Minister has determined to be species for the purposes of the Act."

Australian Government - Department of the Environment. "The Regent Honeyeater, with its brilliant flashes of yellow embroidery, was once seen overhead in flocks of hundreds. Today the Regent Honeyeater has become a 'flagship species' for conservation in the threatened box-ironbark forests of Victoria and NSW on which it depends."
Australian Government - Department of the Environment. "The Australian Government has established a new national approach to threatened species. The Threatened Species Strategy is a plan for how we will prioritise effort and work in partnership with the community and state and territory governments over the next five years. The Strategy sets out a road map and highlights how our approach of science, action and partnership can be used to achieve the long-term goal of reversing species declines and supporting species recovery."
Australian Government - Department of the Environment. "The Threatened Species Strategy Action Plan 2015/16 identifies twelve threatened birds for action. They were identified by the Office of the Threatened Species Commissioner in response to expert input and consultation with the scientific community, and through consideration against the principles for prioritisation in the Threatened Species Strategy. The remaining eight birds will be identified within one year through appropriate consultation."

The wildlife provisions in the National Parks and Wildlife Act today remain largely unchanged since the Act's commencement 40 years ago. The basic approach to regulating people's interactions with wildlife was, and remains, one of prohibition and prescription: that is, interactions (taking, trading, keeping, moving, killing or harming) are banned unless otherwise permitted, generally via a licence. There are 12 different licence types provided for under the National Parks and Wildlife Act to regulate different activities that affect or relate to native plants or animals. Each licence type has a range of different conditions that must be complied with. The ability to enforce these conditions, as well as people's compliance with them, varies greatly.
Conservation status: The Black-browed Albatross is listed as a Vulnerable Species on Schedule 2 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995 (TSC Act).

As they fall and die or are logged or cleared, they can not be replaced without 100 or more years of growth, maturity and decay. To increase understanding and awareness of hollow-bearing trees and the urgent need to protect them, this note covers the following topics: – what tree hollows are and how they form; – what tree species produce hollows; – what lives and depends on them; and, – what you can do to retain and protect trees with natural hollows.
NSW Government - Environment & Heritage. All native birds are protected in NSW under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. As illegal killing and trapping has contributed to the decline of many native Australian bird species, the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) manages licensing systems to regulate the keeping, buying and selling of these birds by bird keepers and pet shops.

The three large forest owls of south eastern Australia, the Powerful Owl (Ninox strenua), Sooty Owl (Tyto tenebricosa) and Masked Owl (T. novaehollandiae), often occur sympatrically but little is known about how they partition their habitat. The places where owls obtain their food and what they eat may have a crucial bearing on our understanding of their habitat requirements.
Coffs Harbour City Council. Environment - Protected Flora. Coffs Harbour City Council, in association with the Office of Environment and Heritage, has undertaken this project to survey and map patches of old trees and significant arboreal habitat. The aim of the High Value Arboreal Habitat study was to produce a map of the forests which contain large, old and hollow bearing trees in the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area (LGA).
Mosman Council - Environment - Bushland and Biodiversity. As a leader of environmental initiatives, Mosman Council is continuing to develop and implement programs and management strategies that aim to protect, preserve and enhance its natural areas. Due to the reduction over the past 200 years of natural ecosystems, native fauna and their habitat, the retention, protection, and creation of natural shelters is becoming ever more important. Several species of native fauna depend on tree hollows for breeding. For more information on the creation of terrestrial habitat and habitat stag trees in the Mosman area or how to create habitat within your own property please contact Councils Environment and Open Space Team on 9978 4000.

Brisbane City Council - Feeding Native Wildlife. "People feed wildlife for many reasons. Many enjoy a positive, close-up experience with our native animals, while others believe they are helping them survive. However, feeding native wildlife is generally not recommended in Australia."
Brisbane City Council - Living with Wildlfe. "The noisy miner (Manorina melanocephala), also known as the mickey bird or soldier bird, is a native Australian bird and is protected under State Wildlife Legislation (Nature Conservation Act 1992). It is a serious offence to harm noisy miners. In its natural environment, the noisy miner feeds on nectar, fruit, insects and assists in the pollination of native plants."
Between July and December some of Brisbane’s native bird species may become defensive and swoop people who venture too close to their nesting site. A small percentage of birds strike or swoop as a warning to ward off intruders from their territory. Territories may include your backyard, street, local park or school. This is normal defensive behaviour as the bird is trying to protect their eggs or newly hatched young in their nest. It usually lasts about six weeks. The most well-known bird for displaying swooping behaviour is the Australian magpie, however other species of native birds have also been known to swoop including the masked lapwing (plover), butcherbird, magpie-lark (pee-wee), little friarbird, torresian crow and noisy miner. All of these native birds are protected species under State Wildlife Legislation (Nature Conservation Act 1992).

Cockatoo Care was introduced in September 2001 as a joint initiative of the Water Corporation and the Western Australian Museum. The objectives of the program have been to research the distribution and ecology of Carnaby's, Baudin's and Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoos and threats to their survival, and to implement measures to encourage the conservation of these birds through habitat enhancement, feral bee research and community education and involvement.
