   6     Implementation

The success or failure of a recovery plan depends on its implementation. This Recovery Plan is intended as a key resource that guides stakeholders including land managers and assists actions to support the recovery of the ecological community. Ideally, the priority actions identified in the plan will be incorporated into future versions of management plans, as well as other key local planning documents.

6.1      Factors influencing successful implementation of the recovery plan
The following factors will be important for successfully implementing the strategies of the Recovery Plan:

      * Sufficient and enduring funding to complete priority actions.

      * Recognition that maintenance and recovery of Littoral Rainforest requires commitment to on-ground actions and long term effort.

      * Communities that value Littoral Rainforest and its role in conserving biodiversity conservation and providing ecosystem services.

      * A culture of inclusiveness, transparency and accountability by recovery program partners for all aspects of the recovery program.

      * Effective mechanisms for cross jurisdictional co-operation and coordination that implement priority actions efficiently and effectively.

      * The integration of local and regional management with other threatened species recovery actions.

      * A network of stakeholders and partners that includes relevant experts, delivery partners and stakeholders with affected interests.

      * Effective mechanisms for communicating with stakeholders and partners.

      * Monitoring to measure the extent and condition of identified patches of Littoral Rainforest, and effectiveness of management actions.

      * A strong adaptive management framework for program delivery, with the capacity for adaptive and timely decision-making based on monitoring data.

      * Implementing the actions identified in this plan will support the resilience and adaptation of the multiple ecological communities in the context of a changing climate.

This Recovery Plan is also intended to guide funding decisions. For example, projects consistent with a national recovery plan for a listed species or ecological community are targets for funding under National Landcare Programme, Reef Trust and the National Environmental Science Programme. Regional investment through such programs is necessary to support the implementation of the Recovery Plan.

6.2      Management considerations
In biodiversity terms, Littoral Rainforest is known to provide significant habitat for a number of endemic and threatened flora and fauna species, as detailed in Section 3.5. The persistence of this ecological community is likely to be critical to the survival of a number of these listed species. Consequently, ensuring Littoral Rainforest is managed sustainably is essential to maintaining its biodiversity values. Below are
