This species has been assigned to the
Landscape species management stream under the
Saving our Species (SoS) program.
Justification for allocation to this management stream
This species is distributed across relatively large areas and is subject to threatening processes that generally act at the landscape scale (e.g. habitat loss or degradation) rather than at distinct, defineable locations.

Management objectives
The SoS strategy aims to secure the species in the wild for 100 years and maintain its conservation status under the BC Act.
The SoS strategy aims to secure the species in the wild in NSW for 100 years and maintain its conservation status under the BC Act. The SoS strategy also aims to engage local communities in the species' conservation and to encourage the NSW community to identify with it as a flagship for threatened species conservation.
This SoS strategy aims to secure this population in the long-term and maintain its conservation status under the
BC Act.
This SoS strategy aims to ensure the security of this species in the long-term and maintain its conservation status under the
BC Act.
This SoS strategy aims to ensure that the species is secure in the wild in NSW and that its NSW geographic range is extended or maintained and maintain its conservation status under the
BC Act.
This SoS strategy aims to secure critical populations of this species in NSW in the long-term and maintain its conservation status under the
BC Act.
The SoS strategy aims to secure this population in the long-term.
The SoS strategy aims to maximise the viability of the ecological community and maintain its conservation status under the
BC Act.
The SoS strategy aims to minimise current and future impacts of the key threatening process on priority biodiversity values, including threatened species and ecological integrity. This objective aligns with the
BC Act legislation.
Species sightings and management sites across NSW
The map below displays the species’ distribution in NSW, based upon the species’ geographic range, habitat distribution or area of occupancy (to as high a resolution as available data allow, using a range of data sources).
Information about the species’ habitat and ecology is available here.
The map may also display one or more management sites where management of important populations is underway. More information is available in the tables below.
Your search returned one or more sites that are restricted due to the sensitive nature of either the species or the site. Individuals involved in management on these sites can access detailed information via the database.
IBRA
The species occurs in the following IBRA (Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia) regions in NSW:
| |
| New England Tablelands |
| NSW North Coast |
| South Eastern Queensland |
Proportion of the species' distribution on reserve
32% of the species' distribution occurs on reserve (within NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service estate).
Critical actions for this species
The key threats to the viability of landscape-managed species are loss, fragmentation and degradation of habitat, and widespread pervasive factors such as impacts of climate change and disease. Many of these threats are addressed by NSW planning, native vegetation, and biodiversity legislation, policy and programs including the offsets program (BioBanking, NSW Biodiversity Offsets Policy for Major Projects), Biodiversity Certification, management of environmental water and reservation under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.
Threats to this species are outlined here.
The actions listed in the action toolbox are supplementary to NSW legislation, policy and programs and can be used by stakeholders, where applicable to guide management at a site, regional or state scale.
Action toolbox
| Liaise with land managers and consent authorities to ensure the maintenance of corridor vegetation connecting areas of key habitat during logging operations. | Site |
| Liaise with land managers responsible for fire management to encourage avoidance of burning areas in or near known habitat. | Site, Area |
| Conduct strategic bush regeneration in areas of known habitat to progressively replace lantana understorey with native vegetation. | Site |
| Implement best-practice, strategic, adaptive management of wild dogs to benefit populations of pademelons. | Site, Area |
| Negotiate agreements with relevant landholders (preferably in-perpetuity covenants) that maintain areas of habitat and vegetation connectivity between reserved areas. Where possible incorporate management strategies that maintain habitat quality such as grazing and fire management strategies. | Site |
| Identify and implement restoration and revegetation projects at areas where connectivity between large areas of known habitat is compromised, with the aim of increasing the width, condition and security of critical landscape links. | Site, Area |
| Implement best-practice, strategic, adaptive management of invasive horses to benefit populations of pademelons. | Site, Area |
| Implement best-practice, strategic, adaptive management of invasive pigs to benefit populations of pademelons. | Site, Area |
| Implement best-practice, strategic, adaptive management of invasive rabbits to benefit populations of pademelons. | Site |
| Implement best-practice, strategic, adaptive management of foxes to benefit populations of pademelons. | Site, Area |
| Implement best-practice, strategic, adaptive management of cats to benefit populations of pademelons. | Site, Area |
| Opportunistically collect blood samples to investigate prevalence of disease and genetic diversity, store data in a centralised database. | State |
| Monitor species response to fire when implementing hazard reduction works in areas of known habitat. Monitoring should cover the altitudinal and latitudinal range of the species. | Area |
How will this species be managed?
Key management sites for this threatened species are being identified by the NSW Government
and other program partners, where feasible, cost-effective and beneficial management actions can be undertaken.
Currently, 4 management sites have been identified for this threatened species.
