required to stop the decline, and support the recovery of, Tjakura over the next 10 years.

  To create this Recovery Plan the Indigenous Desert Alliance (IDA) held a series of workshops with many stakeholders across the range of Tjakura in 2021 to establish a shared vision, define goals and objectives, and prioritise the actions needed to save this important animal from extinction.

  Our shared Vision is "In 2050 Tjakura are safe on Country, babies are born and survive, rangers are caring for them, under the guidance of Elders, with the support of the broader community. Our cultural connection to Tjakura is strong and sustainable
  harvesting is possible because populations are healthy, abundant and genetically diverse, thriving in all the sites they were known from in 2023."

  We will work towards this long-term vision by striving to achieve the following Goal over the next 10 years:

  Overall Goal: In 2033 cultural knowledge of Tjakura remains strong, and the skink is no longer classified as Vulnerable to extinction because the global
  population continues to increase beyond 10,000 mature individuals, and neither the range or number of known sub-populations is declining because key sites are being actively managed by motivated rangers and other land managers.
  Progress towards this goal will be measured using performance criteria associated with two specific Conservation Objectives and one Cultural Objective:

  Conservation Objectives (and performance criteria)

   ■  The range of the Tjakura remains stable

    –  PC1: The Extent of Occurrence in 2033 is at least equal to the EoO in 2023
    –  PC2: In 2033 Tjakura occupy all 20 places they were known from in 2023
   ■  The size of the Tjakura population is growing

    –  PC3: From 2023- 2033 there is an ongoing increasing trend in the number of known active burrows across the range
    –  PC4: The estimated number of active burrows across the range exceeds 10,000
  Cultural Objective (and performance criteria)

   ■  Cultural Knowledge of Tjakura remains strong

    –  PC5: In 2033 Tjakura cultural sites, stories and songs and ceremonies are known, documented and
    maintained across the Country where Tjakura occurs

  Actions required to meet these Objectives are described in this Recovery Plan. They have been grouped into nine strategies.

  Strategies
   ■ DOCUMENT AND SUPPORT CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES:
   Recognise culture is at the heart of conservation and support projects to record cultural knowledge and continue to engage in cultural practices.

   ■  MOTIVATE AND EDUCATE: Increase the motivation to manage Tjakura through activities that promote its cultural and conservation significance and build its charisma and profile amongst the general public, government and scientists to ensure support for the species.

   ■  SURVEY NEW AREAS: Establish current status by conducting additional surveys and consultation (especially around the edge
