disseminated through publication in the peer reviewed science literature. NB. The MCRN was renamed in 2018 to become the Macadamia Conservation Research Committee.

3b: New ecological information is incorporated into land and species management manuals and made available to land managers in biennial workshops
During the five years of the SMSRP, six research papers have been published in the peer reviewed scientific literature, and two more are in preparation. The results of these studies will be integrated into future activities and information products.

4a: Increase in public awareness of the environmental, cultural and economic significance of threatened southern Macadamia species
Significant effort has been devoted to this achievement of this criteria, including the development of new information product, displays at local and regional events, media releases, public activities (such as ex situ plantings), although much remains to be done. A Macadamia conservation website was launched in 2014; this is a key element in achieving this goal.

4b: Increase in land managers capacity to manage and conserve threatened southern Macadamia species populations.
As per 2b: Increase in landholder capacity to manage and conserve threatened southern Macadamia species populations.

5a: Progress made on the completion of Recovery Plan actions is reviewed annually
Implementation of the Recovery Plan is carried out under the supervision of the MCC, which meets 3–4 times annually to review progress and prioritise activities going forward. The MCC is comprised of a multi-disciplinary panel of people who collectively have unparalleled knowledge and expertise of Macadamia species and their conservation. Progress in implementation of the Recovery Plan is measured formally via biannual reports that are produced as part of the compliance requirements of the umbrella grant provided by Horticulture Australia Limited for implementation of the SMSRP.
