is beyond the scope of this plan, long-term monitoring of the species and habitats may be needed to understand the sensitivities of the Swift Parrot to climate change and to form the basis for future adaptive conservation management strategies. Further, the cumulative effects of other threats together with climate change need to be considered for effective and adaptive long-term management of the Swift Parrot.

2.2.7 Illegal wildlife capture and trading
Unregulated trade in wildlife has become a major factor in the decline of many species of animals and plants. Therefore the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) was established and is enforceable under the EPBC Act (Department of Environment and Heritage 2005b). The Swift Parrot may be susceptible to illegal wildlife capture and trading activities.

2.2.8 Cumulative impacts
Each of the identified threats to the Swift Parrot has the potential to compromise the long-term survival of the species, and where more than one threat is present the cumulative effect is likely to be substantially greater than the sum of the individual threats. In addition, impacts from a single threat increases the overall risk of extinction, such as repeated small-scale clearing for developments that do not meet significant impact thresholds, but whose total impact over time contributes to the species decline.
