according to agency priorities and available resources. All actions are considered important steps towards ensuring the long-term survival of the species.

8. Effects on other native species and biodiversity benefits

Measures to mitigate threats to the forty-spotted pardalote and protect their habitat will benefit other threatened plant and animal species and ecological communities within the species' range. Foremost is the swift parrot, whose breeding range co-occurs on Maria and Bruny islands and other locations such as Tinderbox Peninsula and Howden. Threatened woodland bird communities and Key Biodiversity Areas triggered by the forty-spotted pardalote include many other (threatened and near-threatened) species that will benefit from protection (BirdLife International 2021). These include: swift parrot, Turnix varius (painted‑button quail), Artamus cyanopterus (dusky woodswallow), Cinclosoma punctatum (spotted quail‑thrush), Platycercus caledonicus (green rosella), Melithreptus validirostris (strong-billed honeyeater), Melithreptus affinis (black-headed honeyeater), Nesoptilotis flavicollis (yellow-throated honeyeater), Acanthiza ewingii (Tasmanian thornbill), Petroica boodang (scarlet robin), Petroica rodinogaster (pink robin), Petroica phoenicea (flame robin), Melanodryas vittatae (dusky robin) and Acanthornis magna (scrubtit).

There are also a number of Ecological Communities listed at the state and Commonwealth level that will benefit from increased efforts to protect and conserve forty-spotted pardalote habitat. Many mammals, invertebrates and plants will also receive benefits as a result of measures put in place to protect and improve forty-spotted pardalote habitat.

9. Social and economic considerations

The main social and economic impacts of this Recovery Plan will be on those who require approval to remove or modify forty-spotted pardalote habitat and are prevented from doing so, or are required to modify their proposal by a consent authority. This may include increased costs due to the assessment processes, requirement to secure or rehabilitate habitat, or for other threat mitigation work.

Landholders may be eligible for various government grants and funding programs that support threatened species, including the forty-spotted pardalote. Landholders may also be provided with opportunities to participate in a range of conservation programs that benefit a wide range of threatened species. These may include covenanting programs to protect habitat critical to the survival of the species, incentive or stewardship programs to restore or maintain high quality foraging or breeding habitat for the species,
