Action 2.4 Establish ex-situ populations for M. jansenii at multiple sites
The known distribution of this species is restricted to one population. Ex-situ populations have recently been established at five sites: Bulburin National Park and Thornhill Station and a fifth population at Tondoon Botanic Gardens, Gladstone. Continue to work with stakeholders to complete establishment, monitoring and maintenance of ex-situ populations.
Priority: High
Potential Contributors: MCC, DES, USC, Gladstone Botanic Gardens, Gidarjil Development Corporation, landholders
Action 2.5 Establish seed banks and/or seed orchards
Identify appropriate source trees, based on the outcomes of genetic research into the diversity of wild populations, and establish seed banks or seed orchards from representative populations of all species.
Priority: High
Potential Contributors: MCC, AG, state governments, local governments, Botanic Gardens, regional NRM organisations, community groups, researchers
Action 2.6 Develop provenance protocols (for seed and tube stock) to guide Macadamia propagation and planting
Hybridisation and pollination by cultivars are a threat to wild trees and populations of three Macadamia species (not M. jansenii). Development of provenance protocols (for seed and tube stock) to guide Macadamia plantings will reduce the threat to wild trees and inform actions to enhance existing populations and establish new populations in appropriate habitats.
Priority: Medium
Potential Contributors: MCC, AG, DES, DPIE, LLS, local governments, regional NRM organisations, community groups, researchers, native plant nurseries

Performance Criteria 2b. Increase in land manager capacity to manage and conserve wild Macadamias
Action 2.7 Support land managers to develop property management plans that include wild Macadamia conservation and threat mitigation
Property management planning is an important tool to help land managers improve understanding and management of their land. Land managers with wild Macadamia habitat on their properties will be strongly encouraged to develop property management plans that:
    * achieve long-term protection appropriate to the tenure of Macadamia habitat
    * reduce the impact of weed species
    * reduce the impact of fire
    * manage livestock
    * enable habitat expansion
    * improve connectivity of Macadamia habitat with other vegetation communities.
Land managers are also encouraged to include the above activities in existing management plans for properties containing wild Macadamia. Additionally, land managers are encouraged to consider collaboration with neighbouring land managers for the purpose of developing strategic plans to undertake the above activities.

Performance Criteria 2c. Increase in the extent and effectiveness of on-ground works undertaken by land managers to manage wild Macadamia habitat
Action 2.8 Source and provide resources and incentives to land managers for long-term protection of Macadamia habitat appropriate to the tenure of the habitat
Protection
