Owners to include adaptive habitat management planning in their work which will ultimately support the recovery of Spiny Rice-flower (Table 4).

Strategy 1: Protecting and managing all populations and habitats

This strategy mainly consists of two dimensions – to secure populations or habitat from incompatible use and catastrophic loss (protect); and to appropriately manage threats to all populations and habitat to maintain or improve extent and condition of habitat and genetic integrity (manage) at local, regional and landscape scales
