4.2.2        Threatened plants

Targets
By 2034, threatened plant species populations meet target levels stated in Table 27 and most species are established in a larger number of sites across the Norfolk Island Group.
Population sizes in 2023 are derived from surveys undertaken in the national park and public reserves; there may be uncounted individuals on private land. These population estimates inform targets that were determined through extensive consultation with local conservation managers and other experts. Targets set for 2034 include planted individual and groups of plants that survive in the ground for at least one year.
