for the Eastern Bristlebird throughout their range. Due to their small size and reduced genetic diversity, northern and southern
           Eastern Bristlebird populations are likely to be under particular pressure from some current threats. Notably, the Action Plan for Australian Birds 2020 (Charley et al. 2021) recognises the northern Eastern Bristlebird as Critically Endangered and the southern Eastern Bristlebird (NSW/ACT, VIC) as Near Threatened, based on IUCN Red List categories (IUCN 2001). Further, because some threats are higher in one population than another (Appendix 2) some Recovery Plan actions are population specific
           (see section 6 for details).

5.   Vision, objectives and strategies

       5.1                  Long-term vision

 Eastern Bristlebird populations are genetically diverse and self-sustaining, and the species is resilient to impacts of climate change. Eastern Bristlebird recovery has been informed by comprehensive knowledge of Eastern Bristlebird ecology and best practice methods for conserving the species and its habitat. Eastern Bristlebird
 habitat is protected, and Traditional Owners and the broader community are engaged
 in habitat management.

       5.2                  Recovery Plan objectives and strategies

 Objective 1   By 2032, Eastern Bristlebird population viability is improved in the northern, central and southern populations, compared to baselines (see section 1.3).
               Strategy 1: Population enhancement and augmentation.
 Objective 2   By 2032, levels of priority threats on the Eastern Bristlebird are reduced, compared to baselines.
               Strategy 2: Threat management.
 Objective 3   By 2032, Eastern Bristlebird habitat extent and condition are maintained or improved, compared to baselines.
               Strategy 3: Habitat protection, enhancement, and augmentation.
 Objective 4   By 2032, Eastern Bristlebird population assessments are enhanced by addressing data and knowledge gaps and viable Eastern Bristlebird population sizes and trends are determined.
               Strategy 4: Biology and ecology knowledge enhancement.

 Objective 5   By 2032, targeted stakeholder engagement has:
                •    increased collaboration with private landholders to expand or strengthen involvement in Eastern Bristlebird conservation e.g., areas available for surveys, potential release sites, and active habitat management;
                •    increased engagement of Traditional Owners in Eastern Bristlebird recovery decision-making processes; and
                •    extended community/volunteer involvement in Eastern Bristlebird surveys.

               Strategy 5: Stakeholder engagement and participation.
 Objective 6   By 2032, Eastern Bristlebird:
                •    recovery priorities are incorporated within relevant policies, management plans, regulations, codes of practice and planning tools;
                •    recovery actions are implemented and reviewed across tenures and jurisdictions;
                •    recovery planning and implementation is underpinned by an adaptive-management framework; and
                •    data and meta data are available (within permissibility requirements) from a centralised repository.
               Strategy 6: Coordinate, review and report on recovery progress.

6.    Actions to achieve the specific objectives

 Actions identified for the recovery of the Eastern Bristlebird are described below with a timeframe of 10-years.

 Where an action is relevant to one or two, rather than all three populations, the relevant population(s) is indicated
