Currently known in NSW from only a small number of recent sightings, Coxen’s Fig-Parrot has declined due, at least in part, to the clearing of lowland subtropical rainforest in north-east NSW and southeast Queensland. The plight of Coxen's Fig-Parrot highlights the importance of conserving areas of undisturbed habitat which are large enough to allow the subspecies refuge from threatening processes and which provide connectivity between occupied areas.
This Recovery Plan describes our current understanding of the Coxen's Fig-Parrot, documents the research and publicity actions undertaken to date, and identifies the actions required to ensure the ongoing viability of Coxen's Fig-Parrot in the wild.
