that would benefit from fire management (43 unique species in total) (Appendix 2). An even greater number of plant species show similar overlaps and common threats.
Notably, the Greater Glider (Petauroides volans) (Vulnerable, and currently under re-assessment at the time of writing) and the Yellow-bellied Glider (Petaurus australis) (currently under assessment at time of writing), and other arboreal mammal species such as possums and bats, as well as forest owls, will benefit, and in turn provide ecosystem services such as pollination and pest control. Species that occupy the lower stratum of Koala habitat such as the Southern Brown Bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus) (Endangered) and small native rodents, especially those in urban fringes, might benefit not only from habitat protections and restoration, and fire management, but also from greater protection and reduction of threat from dog attack and vehicle strike. In the more arid landscapes of central Queensland and New South Wales, a different suite of species of open woodlands also occupies listed Koala habitat, notably nine listed Brigalow Belt reptiles, the Superb Parrot (Polytelis swainsoinii) (Vulnerable) and the Grey-headed Flying-flying (Pteropus poliocephalus) (Vulnerable).
The listed Koala is dependent on large tracts of forests and woodlands across eastern Australia. Revegetation of areas of previous koala habitat currently cleared across these landscapes will provide wider benefits to ecosystems and people by sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; reducing the extent and magnitude of drought (McAlpine et al. 2009); increasing connectivity between isolated habitat patches for other species; and enhancing thermal comfort and microclimate conditions for biota as well as humans.

17. Monitoring, evaluation and adaptation of the recovery plan
The recovery plan will establish an adaptive management framework that measures the progress of the plan's actions. Monitoring of the plan will require ongoing assessment of the implementation and success of all actions, with regular reporting to the Recovery Team.
A statutory review of the recovery plan must be conducted within five years in accordance with the EPBC Act. This review will inform the need for any adaptation required within the plan, to identify and resolve any unexpected impediments, and to re-assess priorities for actions. The review will be coordinated by the Recovery Team. Due to the scale of this recovery plan, the Recovery Team will convene at an initial two-year period to review progress in implementing the plan and to inform a subsequent independent and identify any adaptations needed and changes in direction to inform the five-year review.
A comprehensive review of the implementation and success of the plan will be undertaken ten years after the making of this plan as a foundation for the development of a revised ten-year plan. This review will consider, among other things, trends in the status of
