TAP                                            See: Threat abatement plan.
Threat                                         A plan made or adopted under section 270B of the EPBC Act that establishes a national framework to guide and coordinate Australia's response to the impacts of a key threatening process.
abatement plan
Threatened species                             A species listed under the EPBC Act as being critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or conservation dependent.
Threatening process                            A process that threatens, or may threaten, the survival, abundance or evolutionary development of a native species or ecological community.
Translocation                                  Helping species colonise areas outside of their historical range, in this context, for conservation purposes.
