trend compared to baseline counts in the number of mature individuals of forty-spotted pardalote.

These objectives will be achieved by implementing the actions set out in this Recovery Plan that minimise threats while protecting and enhancing the species' habitat throughout its range, adequately monitoring the species, generating new knowledge to guide recovery, and increasing public involvement achieving these objectives.

5.3 Strategies to achieve objectives
     1.        Implement management strategies to reduce known threats to the forty-spotted pardalote and its habitat.

     2.        Increase the number and viability of forty-spotted pardalote subpopulations through translocation and supplementation techniques.

     3.        Improve protection and increase the quality, extent, and connectivity of known and potential habitat for the forty-spotted pardalote.

     4.        Improve knowledge of the biology and ecology of the forty-spotted pardalote and maintain a long-term monitoring strategy to identify population trends.

     5.        Increase stakeholder participation in forty-spotted pardalote conservation and management.

     6.        Coordinate, review and report on recovery progress.

6. Actions to achieve the specific objectives

Actions identified for the recovery of the forty-spotted pardalote are described below and have been considered within a 10-year timeframe. It should be noted that some of the objectives are long-term and may not be achieved prior to the scheduled five-year review of the Recovery Plan.

Implementing this Recovery Plan is subject to budgetary and other resource opportunities and constraints affecting partners. The cost of implementation of this plan should, where possible, be incorporated into the core business expenditure of the affected organisations, and through additional funds obtained for the explicit purpose of implementing this Recovery Plan. It is expected that state and Commonwealth agencies will use this plan to prioritise actions to protect the species and enhance its recovery, and that projects will be undertaken according to agency priorities and available resources.

Priorities assigned to actions should be interpreted as follows:

Priority 1:  Taking prompt action is necessary in order to mitigate the key threats to the forty-spotted pardalote and also provide valuable information to help identify long-term population trends.

Priority 2:  Action would provide a more informed basis for the long-term management and recovery of the forty-spotted pardalote.

Priority 3:  Action is desirable, but not critical to the recovery of the forty-spotted pardalote or assessment of trends in that recovery.
