The Warragamba Special Area is of outstanding zoological interest. A total of 360 terrestrial vertebrate fauna species are known to occur, with 40 of these listed on the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). As a single management area it includes some of the most varied fauna habitats in New South Wales, including rainforests, freshwater swamps, rainshadow valleys and plains, sandstone escarpments as well as montane and subalpine environments.
This document summarises project findings and recommendations for the management of vertebrate fauna within the Warragamba Special Area. Detail is provided on issues that require management action for the conservation of biodiversity.
