Threat abatement plans
The Threatened Species Conservation Act requires DEC to prepare and adopt a Priorities Action Statement that:
- sets out the recovery and threat abatement strategies to be adopted for each threatened species and key threatening process
- establishes relative priorities to implement the above strategies
- establishes performance indicators to report achievements in implementing recovery and threat abatement strategies and their effectiveness
- contains a status report on each threatened species (where information is available)
- sets out clear timetables for recovery and threat abatement planning and achievement.
You can view the draft Priorities Action Statement on DEC's threatened species website.
Threat abatement plans
DEC may use a variety of strategies to tackle a key threatening process. One of these is the preparation of a detailed threat abatement plan. The plan will:
- outline actions to manage the threatening process
- explain how the success of these actions will be measured
- identify the authorities that will be responsible for carrying out those actions
- give a cost estimate and timetable, if possible, for carrying out the plan.
