of the Ross Hill section around South Point (excluding mining fields) to join the existing Park boundary.

These extensions may afford a higher degree of protection from development to Population 2 and some of the areas likely to contain potential habitat for Asplenium listeri, but may not afford a higher degree of protection from development to Population 5.

However, listing of the species as a threatened species under the EPBC Act offers a degree of protection irrespective of land tenure.

PART D: OBJECTIVES, PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AND ACTIONS

D.1 Recovery objectives, timelines and performance criteria

The overall goal is to improve the conservation status of the species.
We will know we have achieved this when at least one of the parameters that warrant the conservation status of critically endangered is improved sufficiently to consider an improved status of endangered (or better).  This may not be achieved within the life of this plan.

Specific objectives to advance this goal within the life of the plan include:

Objectives                                                                     Performance criteria                                                                                                                            Timeline
Objective 1:                                                                   No population of the species is impacted by a threatening process                                                                               Review and assess annually.
To abate and avert threats to the species

Objective 2:                                                                   A comprehensive list of environmental factors (physical and biological) and/or a predictive model assist(s) location of additional populations  Review annually; assess at the end of five years
To improve knowledge of factors in the restricted distribution of the species
Objective 3:                                                                   At least one additional population (or an enlarged population) of the species has been located in the wild                                      Review annually; assess at the end of five years
To increase the number of known occurrences

D.2 Evaluation of success or failure

Performance will be evaluated annually, and assessed overall after five years as part of revising this plan, by a recovery team comprising representatives of Commonwealth agencies and community interests, supported by independent scientific advice.

The proposed member organisations include:
    * Parks Australia North, Department of the Environment & Heritage
    * Shire of Christmas Island
    * Island Care Inc
    * Department of Transport & Regional Services
    * Australian National Herbarium, Department of the Environment & Heritage
    * Christmas Island Phosphates
