will measure the success of the recovery plan in achieving the overall objective and supporting objective using the following performance criteria.

Overall objective and performance criteria:

  Maintain or extend the current known extent (area) and maintain or improve condition of the Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and Associated Fens ecological community over the life of the recovery plan.

Achievement of this objective will be measured against the following performance criterion:

    There has been no known decrease in extent or overall condition of the ecological community between 2015, 2020 and 2025 (to be further informed by condition baselines as they become available).

Supporting objective and performance criteria:

  Ensure effective adaptive implementation of the plan

Achievement of this objective will be measured against the following performance criterion:

    Priority actions have been undertaken, the results understood and shared, and any required modifications to priority actions made as new information became available.

The strategies, actions and the specific tasks to be undertaken are outlined below.

Relationship between objectives, strategies and recovery actions

 Actions and strategies are summarised. Please refer to the Recovery Actions section below for details.

   5.4 Recovery Actions

   The Recovery Actions table below (Table 2) outlines the actions and associated tasks or activities to be undertaken to implement each of the three strategies and achieve the objectives. The priority recovery actions are informed by current knowledge, threats and regulatory arrangements.

   The priority ratings allocated to actions and tasks in Table 2 have been guided by input from state/territory authorities and other experts taking into account the risk that a threat poses to the ecological community (through assessing the likelihood the impacts of the threat will occur, the severity of the impacts as per Table 1 and the extent of the impacts) and the likelihood of success in undertaking actions to address the threat.

   The actions and tasks have been prioritised separately into 'Australian Alps' (ACT, NSW and Victoria) and Tasmania in recognition of geographic separation, some key differences in the biotic and abiotic elements, and that Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and Associated Fens in these two areas have some different threats and management challenges (for example, resources and seasonal timing). Differences in priority between the two main areas do not necessarily indicate that a threat has a different level of impact (or potential impact). Different local conditions, threats and impacts should also be considered for each catchment and occurrence of the ecological community. For example, actions and tasks might be given a lower priority for one of the two main areas because 1) they are already being implemented, 2) they are already considered within existing legislative or planning measures, or 3) the threat may be locally severe but insubstantial across the full range of the
