burning (and other land management) activities.
                                  –  Land managers understand how to reduce the impact of fire when implementing burns (e.g., staged burning of boundaries to ensure a
                                  single fire front, timing and weather to reduce intensity).
                                 •    Fire management impacts are considered at the local population scale.
                                 •    An emergency response to wildfire is developed (including rapid suppression and extraction for northern and southern populations).
                                 •    All relevant fire planning and conservation management documents prioritise protection of Eastern Bristlebird habitat and include rapid wildfire response strategies in Eastern
                                 Bristlebird habitat.
