Assess the conservation benefits, feasibility and risks of establishing a captive breeding and translocation program, and establish a response protocol if needed.                                                                                                           3         JCU, DES, Terrain NRM, NQ Dry Tropics, WPSQ, Girringun, CCRC.                                          0                                   0       0      0    50   50

7.2                 Monitoring, evaluation, reporting and review
Monitoring of this plan will require ongoing assessment of the implementation and success of all actions, with regular reporting to and by the recovery team. Reporting and review should be consistent with Australian Government recovery team reporting guidelines (DoEE, 2017).
This recovery plan should be reviewed no later than 5 years from when it was endorsed and made publicly available. The review will be coordinated by the MGRT in consultation with relevant partners and other stakeholders. This review will be used to help inform the need for any adaptation required within this plan, to identify and resolve any unexpected impediments, and to re-assess priorities for actions. The review will determine the performance of this plan and assess whether:
    * it continues unchanged, is varied to remove completed actions, or varied to include new conservation priorities
    * a recovery plan is no longer necessary for the species, as conservation advice will suffice, or
    * a listing status review of the Mahogany Glider under legislation is undertaken.
This recovery plan recognises a need for some flexibility and adaptation due to some substantial uncertainties. These include knowledge aspects of the species' biology, the likelihood of success of some management actions, and the likelihood of somewhat unpredictable episodes of acute and severe threat. Adaptation within this plan should be guided by the regular reporting and should generally fit within its broad framework. Any such needed adaptation in this plan should be overseen by the MGRT.

7.3                 Potential benefits and impacts associated with implementation

7.3.1             Broader biodiversity benefits
The southern Wet Tropics coastal lowland forests contain threatened species and regional ecosystems that are linked to Mahogany Glider recovery (Table 9). Measures to protect Mahogany Glider habitat and to mitigate threats will also help to protect many other threatened species and ecosystems. The recovery of Mahogany Glider populations also focuses attention on regional land management issues such as wildlife corridors, clearing, habitat fragmentation and rehabilitation projects.
