Appendix A

EPBC Act listed species and ecological communities affected by rabbits

All species in Appendix A were determined from profiles in the Australian Government's Species Profile and Threats Database (SPRAT) which identified rabbits as a threatening process. Note: the identification of these species as being affected by rabbits is based on a range of evidence, with some having solid scientific evidence to support the impact of rabbits on this species, where others may based on expert opinions. All species and ecological communities listed below are those which are listed as threatened under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. EPBC Act listing statuses are at September 2015.
