CALL FOR NOMINATIONS – Threatened species, ecological communities or key threatening processes listing

Nominations are invited for the assessment period starting 1 October 2012, for any species, ecological communities or key threatening processes to be considered for listing under national environment law.

Threatened species and ecological communities listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 are protected as matters of national environmental significance.

The conservation theme for this assessment period is corridors and connecting habitats (including freshwater habitats).

Nominations consistent with this conservation theme are encouraged, but nominations outside the theme will also be considered.

Nominations close 5pm on Thursday, 22 March 2012, and should be submitted in the required format either electronically (preferred), or in hard copy with an accompanying electronic submission on CD.
