正文(英文) | About the nomination and assessmentEach year on behalf of the Threatened Species Scientific Committee, the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment invites public nominations for items that merit listing as threatened under national environment law. The “Plains Mallee Box Woodland of the Murray Darling Depression and Riverina Bioregions” was originally nominated, under the name Ridged Plains Mallee Woodland, for listing as a threatened ecological community and prioritised for assessment in 2015. The Committee’s assessment and advice to the Minister for the Environment is due by 30 September 2020. Proposed Conservation Status: Critically Endangered Distribution: South-west New South Wales, north-west Victoria, and south-east South Australia. Invitation to commentThe EPBC Act requires the Threatened Species Scientific Committee to undertake public consultation on nominations accepted for a full scientific assessment. The Committee particularly seeks comments on whether the ecological community is eligible for listing under the proposed conservation status, but also invites other relevant comments and information. How can I get involved?Read the consultation documentsThe draft scientific assessment, in the Draft Description and Listing Assessment document, concludes that the ecological community is likely to be eligible for listing as Critically Endangered, based on evidence that it has undergone a very severe decline in geographic distribution, and has a very restricted (highly fragmented) geographic distribution, coupled with many demonstrable threats throughout its range; and a very severe reduction in integrity due to threatening processes. This has affected ecological processes and resulted in a subsequent decline and/or change to flora and fauna within the ecological community.
