• Conservation status as defined internationally at the species level for the total range, not just the HANZAB region, by IUCN, and for Australian subspecies by The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2020 (ABAP)¹, Australian EPBC Act (1999)¹, and for New Zealand species by New Zealand Threat Classification System.
• Conservation Status by level of concern – Extinct, Critically Endangered/Nationally Critical, Endangered/Nationally Endangered, Vulnerable/ Nationally Vulnerable, Near Threatened

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

• where a species is polytypic, The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2020 (ABAP) 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 ABAP 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, ABAP 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.
