Priority threat management for imperilled species of the Queensland Brigalow Belt

Abstract

In this report, we present a costed and prioritised set of feasible threat management strategies for protecting 179 of the most threatened native plant and animal species of the Brigalow Belt bioregion, a highly modified biodiversity hotspot covering 20% of Queensland, Australia. The 12 strategies outlined here were designed through a consultation process with 40 experts and stakeholders in biodiversity and land management of the region, using the best available scientific data and expert knowledge.
