guide recovery, and increase public involvement achieving these objectives.

1.2.3 Strategies to achieve objectives
     1.        Implement management strategies to reduce known threats to the forty-spotted pardalote and its habitat.

     2.        Increase the number and viability of forty-spotted pardalote subpopulations through translocation and supplementation techniques.

     3.        Improve protection and increase the quality, extent, and connectivity of known and potential habitat for the forty-spotted pardalote.

     4.        Improve knowledge of the biology and ecology of the forty-spotted pardalote, and maintain a long-term monitoring strategy to identify population trends.

     5.        Increase stakeholder participation in forty-spotted pardalote conservation and management.

     6.        Coordinate, review and report on recovery progress.

1.3 Criteria for success
This Recovery Plan will be deemed successful if, within ten years, all of the following have been achieved:

       * Threats within the range of the forty-spotted pardalote are managed and reduced to avoid or mitigate negative impacts on the species and its habitat.

       * The number of subpopulations, area of occupancy or species range has increased, and risk of extinction from stochastic events has reduced.

       * Research and planning to inform the feasibility of reintroduction and translocation as a management strategy has been conducted.

       * The quality, extent and connectivity of forty-spotted pardalote habitat has improved throughout the species' current and potential range, and a network of sites is protected and managed for the species.

       * Understanding of the species' ecology has increased, in particular knowledge of its current distribution, population trends, movement ecology, life history, threats, and critical habitat.

       * The forty-spotted pardalote population has been adequately monitored using standardised methods, and an increase in the population from baseline counts is observed as a result of recovery actions.

       * There is increased participation by key stakeholders and the public in recovery efforts and monitoring.

1.4 Recovery team
Recovery teams provide advice and assist in coordinating actions described in Recovery Plans. They include representatives from organisations with a direct interest in the recovery of the species, including those involved in funding and those participating in actions that support the recovery of the species.

The Forty-spotted Pardalote Recovery Team has the responsibility of providing advice, and coordinating and supporting the implementation of the recovery actions outlined in this Recovery Plan. The membership of the Recovery Team includes individuals with relevant government agencies, non-government organisations and expertise from independent researchers and community groups.

2. Introduction

This document constitutes the 'National Recovery Plan for the Forty-spotted Pardalote (Pardalotus quadragintus).' The plan considers the conservation requirements of the species across its range, and identifies the actions needed to ensure the species' long-term viability in nature and the parties that will undertake those actions.

The first Recovery Plan for the species was prepared under the Commonwealth's Endangered Species
