This dataset is from a series of layers showing known and predicted habitat for terrestrial mammals, reptiles, birds and invertebrates listed as threatened in the ACT under the Nature Conservation Act 2014 and the EPBC Act 1999. Habitat areas are based on verified records, and vegetation type and extent, may represent modelled, likely or known habitat, and may be generalised to protect sensitive species. Known, likely or modelled habitat is displayed for the following species:Critically EndangeredCanberra Grassland Earless Dragon (Tympanocryptis lineata)Northern Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne pengilleyi)EndangeredGreater Glider (Petauroides volans)Key Matchstick Grasshopper (Keyacris scurra)Macquarie Perch (Macquaria australasica)Smoky Mouse (Pseudomys fumeus)Spotted-tailed Quoll (Dasyurus maculatus maculatus)Trout Cod (Maccullochella macquariensis)VulnerableBroad-toothed Rat (Mastacomys fuscus mordicus)Golden Sun Moth (Synemon plana)Grey-headed Flying-fox (Pteropus poliocephalus)Murray River Crayfish (Euastacus armatus)Perunga Grasshopper (Perunga ochracea)Pink-tailed Worm-lizard (Aprasia parapulchella)Striped Legless Lizard (Delma impar)Superb Parrot (Polytelis swainsonii)Two-spined Blackfish (Gadopsis bispinosus)Yellow-bellied Glider (Petaurus australis)Rare / Data DeficientCanberra Raspy Cricket (Cooraboorama canberrae) RareOther Rare Invertebrates (multiple including butterflies)Special Protection StatusMurray Cod (Maccullochella peelii)Birds: There a several threatened bird species in the ACT. Comprehensive threatened bird records are kept by the Canberra Ornithologists Group (COG). Requests for bird data should be directed to COG.Other species considered threatened/important/rare in the ACT include: Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby (Petrogale penicillata), Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), Southern Brown Bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus obesulus), Southern Bell Frog (Litoria raniformis), Green and Golden Bell Frog (Litoria aurea), Yellow-spotted Bell Frog (Litoria castanea), Eastern Quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus), Eastern Bettong (Bettongia gaimardi) – Habitat data is considered deficient for these species, regionally conservation dependent, reintroduced or are considered extinct in the ACT, and thus habitats have not been mapped. Threatened bird habitat is not represented here. Records of these species, including historic, are kept and maintained in the ACT Wildlife Atlas.Updates: These datasets are static but may be updated if known habitat extents contract or expand or more detailed field work to map habitat is undertaken.Fit for purpose: Note that these layers show areas of known and potential habitat. They come from a number of different sources and are only indicative. These datasets may not reflect the full distribution of species in the ACT. For environmental impact assessment investigations, further survey may be required. Exact location of some species may be withheld due to risks of disturbance and collection as per the ACT Government Sensitive Species & Ecological Spatial Data Policy.Note that these layers contain modelled habitat. Modelled habitat is often based on correlations between environmental conditions and known occurrences. These are representative of environmental conditions considered in the model, but may not account for all ecological interactions, environmental conditions, and/or dispersal limitations. Care should be taken to ensure the correct interpretation of a model of interest and should be treated as indicative only.

This group of layers provides generalised or area of occupancy (AOO) gridded plants species that are listed as rare, protected or threatened (Endangered, Critically Endangered, Vulnerable, Protected, Rare) under the ACT Nature Conservation Act 2014 or the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999. A location without species mapped as present can be considered data deficient. Data sources include ACT Government surveys, consultant surveys and verified records Canberra Nature Map. Orchid and other sensitive species names and related attribution have been obfuscated to protect locations of species at risk of collection and disturbance as per the ACT Government Sensitive Ecological Spatial Data Policy (2024 in pub). Updates: Updated quarterly with new sightings including verified records from ACT Government surveys and Canberra Nature Map http://canberra.naturemapr.org/. The 2024 update incorporates a new methodology using an underlying ACT grid template, and implements a standardised method of generalising occurrence records to this grid (known as area of occupancy AOO). Caveat: Lack of identification a species at a site does not necessarily indicate that the plant does not occur there. It may be that appropriate survey of the site has yet to be undertaken. Even if a survey has been undertaken, the condition of habitat (or non-habitat) may have changed since the date of survey. On-ground inspection and verification of the values occurrence or non-occurrence may be necessary.

This is the data package for the expected survival of listed threatened species and ecological communities indicator family, supporting the reports NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024 and Expected survival of listed threatened species and ecological communities: Report card for the NSW Biodiversity Program 2024. This data package provides underlying data for the indicators expected survival of listed threatened species, expected existence of listed threatened ecological communities and expected survival of phylogenetic diversity for listed threatened species, reporting on results for selected years between 1997 and 2022 (depending on indicator). This data package is a snapshot of the data used to calculate indicators as reported in the NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024 and supporting report cards. Expected survival of listed threatened species and ecological communities indicator family This indicator family reports on the likely long-term survival of species and ecological communities that have been formally assessed for risk of extinction and listed as threatened or extinct in New South Wales. The indicator family also measures the risk of losing evolutionary heritage (phylogenetic diversity). NSW Biodiversity Indicator Program The Biodiversity Indicator Program reports on the state and trends over time of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. The program was established by the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. We have developed a framework of indicators to help scientists, managers and policy-makers understand the current state of biodiversity, how it has changed from the past, and how it is likely to change in the future. NSW biodiversity outlook report The NSW biodiversity outlook report is a summary of the state of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. It is based on rigorous science and has been peer reviewed by recognised experts. New reports are published from time to time as data become available and are analysed. Each report covers the set of indicators from the framework that have been developed and are ready for publication at that time. Report cards Report cards are stand-alone documents that provide more detailed indicator results and commentary than the biodiversity outlook report. Implementation reports Implementation reports describe in technical detail how indicators are calculated. In combination with the corresponding data package, indicator results can be replicated by anyone with sufficient technical expertise. Data packages Each data package consists of tabular results and raw output such as spatial layers. Data packages provide supporting information for the NSW biodiversity outlook report and associated report cards. Data packages reflect results as presented in their corresponding report card and outlook report, creating an archive of the indicator results at the time of analysis.

ACT Climate refugia are core areas of the landscape most likely to support persistence of dominant trees, shrubs and grasses of the Capital Region under climate change. The data identify refugia expected to support climate sensitive species characteristic of each vegetation community, both now and into the future, based on distribution modelling using NARCLiM climate projections (MacKenzie et al 2019). The areas shown (refugia) highlight where the most stressed subset of dominant plant species today (i.e., common trees, shrubs and grasses modelled to lose >= 75% of their current distribution) are more likely to persist under a wide range of future climate scenarios. These refugia can be used to prioritise management actions to minimise further stresses to those communities (e.g. prescribed burning within tolerable fire intervals; climate-adaptive revegetation programs, etc). Note: Areas smaller than 0.5 hectares have been removed to enable quicker map drawing, contact officeofnatureconservation@act.gov.au for the full dataset, including ensemble forecasts for individual plant species (n=151).

Grasslands of the Territory include a rich assemblage of flora and fauna species that combine into a unique ecosystem. These grasslands are a priority for protection and management as they contribute to our natural biodiversity, our history and heritage, and local amenity and community. Natural Temperate Grasslands are an Endangered Ecological Community in the ACT (Nature Conservation Act 2014) and Critically Endangered Ecological Community under the EPBC Act 1999. Other native and exotic grasslands in the ACT can also have some conservation significance as they support important populations of threatened fauna and flora.Natural Temperate Grassland occurs in areas where few trees grow because of factors such as low temperatures, low rainfall and infertile or clay soils. Only 2% to 10% of the lower elevation grasslands in south-eastern Australia remain in high ecological condition, eight grassland species of the ACT are listed as endangered or vulnerable and some of the constituent plants and animals are under threat. Temperate grasslands are considered one of the most threatened Australian ecosystems. https://www.act.gov.au/environment/animals-and-plants/act-threatened-species. Extensive areas of native grassland in Namadgi National Park are to be field checked to determine whether they qualify as Natural Temperate Grassland. More information on threatened species occurring in grasslands in the ACT can be found at: https://www.act.gov.au/environment/animals-and-plants/act-threatened-speciesThe 2017 ACT Native Grassland Conservation Strategy and associated action plans guide the protection, management and restoration of native grasslands and its component species for the next 10 years. See a summary of the strategy. This strategy supersedes Action Plan 28 ACT Lowland Native Grassland Conservation Strategy (Environment ACT, 2005).Fit for purpose: This mapping is fit for use at a 1:10000 scale. Significant advances are being made towards a high resolution vegetation map for the ACT that is suitable for use at scales ranging from broad regional planning to local planning and property planning. However, Natural Temperate Grassland condition can fluctuate widely depending on seasonal conditions and thus boundaries and presence may fluctuate.Disclaimer: While all care is taken to ensure accuracy, the ACT Government does not warrant that the layers are free from error. © ACT Government
