This is a list of threatened ecological communities declared by the Commonwealth of Australia under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 ("EPBC Act"), and listed in the Species Profile and Threats Database (SPRAT).
This list of threatened ecological communities of Australia is derived from the Australian federal government's assessment of submissions regarding ecological communities, assemblages of flora and fauna with identified interactions in particular habitats, with determinations on their conservation status and level of protection under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act ...
The flora of Australia comprises a vast assemblage of plant species estimated to over 21,000 vascular and 14,000 non-vascular plants, 250,000 species of fungi and over 3,000 lichens. The flora has strong affinities with the flora of Gondwana , and below the family level has a highly endemic angiosperm flora whose diversity was shaped by the ...
Additionally 5371 plant species (8.1% of those evaluated) are listed as data deficient, meaning there is insufficient information for a full assessment of conservation status. As these species typically have small distributions and/or populations, they are intrinsically likely to be threatened, according to the IUCN. [ 3 ]
It enables the listing of threatened species and communities and threats to native species, and the declaration of critical habitat necessary for the survival of native plants and animals. After an extensive review of the Act in 2019, the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Amendment Act 2019 modernised and strengthened the provisions of the Act on 1 ...
