and incorporate these into net gain calculations for 'offset' works where clearing is permitted. Habitat loss, offset works compliance and success should be monitored and documented.

Action 2. Link and reserve feeding habitat
    a)      Support a landscape approach to habitat protection which replicates in the Glenelg-Hopkins CMA the Conservation Management Network (ECC 2000) partnership between private and public land managers for the Wimmera CMA and Trust for Nature.
    b)     Promote the concept of a 'Biolink' of habitat stepping stones comprised of remnants on public and private land, guided by a Conservation Management Network, in south-east South Australia (Naracoorte Range to Lucindale, Padthaway to Penola), and assess similar proposals in Victoria (eg Ryan 2004).
    c)      Support a review of uncommitted public land within the bird's Victorian range, as listed as an action in the FFG Action Statement (Venn and Fisher 1993).
    d)     Support organisations such as the Australian Bush Heritage Fund, Trust for Nature, Parks Victoria and Department for Environment and Heritage (SA) that purchase and protect higher quality remnants on private land.
    e)      Support Trust for Nature and Department for Environment and Heritage (SA) efforts to covenant remnants on private land, and promote their programs of rate relief and financial assistance for covenanted land.

Action 3. Encourage fencing of feeding habitat to protect it from stock
    a)      Distribute information on stringybark and Buloke feeding habitat establishment that advocates fencing to control grazing as one of the most effective and cheapest ways to improve tree health.
    b)     Promote natural tree regeneration, and assist Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos protection on private land.

Action 4. Replant feeding habitat
    a)      Support Greening Australia's project to have unused plantation land revegetated.
    b)     Support planting of native species in critical areas, but only where fencing and natural regeneration cannot take place.
    c)      Encourage local governments to develop roadside management strategies that promote feeding habitat, particularly in areas with Buloke.
    d)     Promote a Buloke replanting program using established guidelines (Hill et al. 2003) and new information.

Action 5. Identify and reduce threats from fire
    a)      Produce maps of Victorian stringybark feeding habitat by 'age-since-fire' classifications to inform managers and underpin monitoring.
    b)     Assess the age of seed crops well in advance of planned burns on public land to ensure that better quality crops of buds, flowers and newly matured seed crops are not burnt, and prescribed burns are directed towards areas with older or poorer seed crops.
    c)      Produce guidelines for burning stringybark woodlands and distribute to public and private land managers of Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo feeding habitats.
    d)     Negotiate agreements with public land managers in South Australia to retain the majority of Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo stringybark feeding habitat as long-unburnt.
    e)      Liaise with Department for Environment and Heritage (SA) fire
