Note. 1. Multiple conservation status values for a species may occur:

  • where a species is polytypic, The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2020 (APAB) and EPBC Act may record the status at the subspecies level. As a result, the species may appear below with several statuses E.g. For Emu, the Tasmanian subspecies is extinct and the mainland subspecies has a status of Least Concern so the APAB status is set to Extinct and Least Concern. As the listings below do not include species of least concern, Emu will only appear under the extinct category below. For Eastern Bristlebird, APAB records the southern subspecies (brachypterus) as Near Threatened and the northern subspecies (monoides) as Critically Endangered. In this case, Eastern Bristlebird will appear under both those ACAP categories (Near Threatened and Critically Endangered)
  • where a species has been split, the Conservation Status of the split species may be recorded under the old species until a separate entry is created. This may also result in multiple conservation statuses being recorded for a species.
