Feral An introduced animal, formerly in domestication, with an established, self-supporting population in the wild.
              Invasive species A species occurring as a result of human activities beyond its accepted normal distribution and which threatens valued environmental, agricultural or personal resources by the damage it causes (Beeton et al. 2006).
              Key threatening process Under the EPBC Act, a process that threatens or may threaten the survival, abundance or evolutionary development of a native species or ecological community.
              Performance indicator A criterion or measure that provides information on the extent to which a policy, program or initiative is achieving its outcomes.
              Threat abatement plan Under the EPBC Act, a plan providing for the research, management and any other actions necessary to reduce the impact of a listed key threatening process on affected species and ecological communities.
              Threatened species A species under the EPBC Act listed as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or conservation dependent.
              Vulnerable Under the EPBC Act, a native species is eligible to be included in the vulnerable category at a particular time if, at that time, (a) it is not critically endangered or endangered; and (b) it is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future, as determined in accordance with the prescribed criteria.
