Theme 5.00
Enhancing threatened species policy
Good policy is central to identifying and protecting threatened species. Streamlined evidence-based policy will improve the prospects for Australia’s threatened species.
This theme will focus on:
- Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of novel offsetting approaches focussed on threat abatement in order to improve outcomes for threatened species
- Opportunities for mutual benefit to threatened species and business in a streamlined regulatory environment

Better offsets for threatened species
Project: 5.1
This project will examine alternative strategies for achieving offset benefits for threatened species. By moving beyond traditional ‘land-based’ offsets strategies can be more cost-effective. Alternative approaches may include perpetual funds to support ongoing management of pest species, and educational signage aiming to reduce damage to beach-nesting species.
Strategic Planning for the Far Eastern Curlew
Project: 5.1.1
The Far Eastern Curlew has experienced one of the most acute declines of any Australian shorebird species. Currently little is known about their exact feeding and roosting habitat requirements. While coastal development can negatively impact populations, they are known to use some artificial habitat for roosting. This project will provide the knowledge needed to develop strategic guidelines for Far Eastern Curlew conservation.-
