for efficient and low-cost revegetation of Mahogany Glider habitat, using the best available science, and disseminate to relevant stakeholders.                                                                                                             * Guidelines for best management practice options for revegetation of Mahogany Glider habitat have been developed and implemented by relevant stakeholders.

Objective 2: An integrated monitoring program that reports on Mahogany Glider population trends and effectiveness of management and research actions is established.
Rationale: It is critical to ensure that monitoring is undertaken appropriately to provide consistent data over time that clearly measures the health of Mahogany Glider populations and habitat, and the effectiveness of recovery efforts. Evaluating and reporting on the outcomes of monitoring programs are key to informing stakeholders and enabling the adaptation of management actions, as required.

2.1         Design and implement an integrated monitoring program which reports on Mahogany Glider population trend and allows for ongoing data collection by community groups and NGOs.                                                               * A long-term population monitoring program has been designed and implemented.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       * Population size and trend of the Mahogany Glider has been assessed and is reported.
2.2         Assess the effectiveness of on-ground actions at increasing local population densities and/or extent.                                                                                                                                      * All relevant contributors receive training and are actively using relevant databases.
                * Update and maintain the Mahogany Glider sightings and actions database (maintained by Terrain), ensure all contributors have received adequate training and data is regularly shared with DES (for upload to WildNet) and DAWE.      * Sightings are maintained up to date in the WildNet database.
                * Monitor and assess the effectiveness of fire management actions at reducing sclerophyll thickening.                                                                                                                                  * All recovery plan actions have been recorded and on ground actions mapped in the MGRT database and reported on annually to DES, DAWE and the community.
                * Monitor and assess the effectiveness of on ground grazing management actions that address threats associated with inappropriate grazing including woody weeds and habitat degradation.                                               * Mahogany glider population response to fire management actions has been assessed to inform adaptive management actions.
                * Report regularly on the actions delivered and the relevance of actions identified in this recovery plan, including a formal review at 5 years, and adapt as required.                                                                * The effectiveness of grazing management actions at reducing woody weeds and improving habitat condition has been monitored, assessed and results used to inform management actions.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       * A formal review of this recovery plan has been completed and the recovery plan has been adapted as necessary at the 5-year review.
2.3         Determine the genetic characteristics of the Mahogany Glider population to sufficiently inform management within and between subpopulations.                                                                                               * Information on genetic characteristics informs planning and management actions.
