<strong>Fauna</strong> <strong>species</strong> <strong>recorded</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Metropolitan Melbourne <strong>Investigation</strong> <strong>area</strong><br />
As of October 2010, <strong>the</strong> Department of Susta<strong>in</strong>ability and Environment’s Atlas of Victorian Wildlife<br />
database conta<strong>in</strong>s records for <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g taxa <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Metropolitan Melbourne <strong>Investigation</strong> <strong>area</strong>.<br />
Legend:<br />
EPBC: status under Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999,<br />
as at January 2007.<br />
en endangered: A taxon is endangered when it is not critically endangered but is fac<strong>in</strong>g a very high risk<br />
of ext<strong>in</strong>ction <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> wild <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> near future.<br />
VU Vulnerable: A taxon is vulnerable when it is not critically endangered or endangered but is fac<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
high risk of ext<strong>in</strong>ction <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> wild <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> medium-term future.<br />
Vic: conservation status <strong>in</strong> Victoria, after DSE (2007) and DSE (2009).<br />
eX ext<strong>in</strong>ct: when <strong>the</strong>re is no reasonable doubt that <strong>the</strong> last <strong>in</strong>dividual has died. A taxon is presumed<br />
Ext<strong>in</strong>ct when exhaustive surveys <strong>in</strong> known and/or expected habitat, at appropriate times (diurnal,<br />
seasonal, annual), throughout its historic range have failed to record an <strong>in</strong>dividual. Surveys should be<br />
over a time frame appropriate to <strong>the</strong> taxon’s life cycle and life form.<br />
RX Regionally ext<strong>in</strong>ct: As for Ext<strong>in</strong>ct but with<strong>in</strong> a def<strong>in</strong>ed region that does not encompass <strong>the</strong><br />
entire geographic range of <strong>the</strong> taxon—<strong>in</strong> this case Victoria. A taxon is presumed Regionally Ext<strong>in</strong>ct<br />
when exhaustive surveys <strong>in</strong> known and/or expected habitat, at appropriate times (diurnal, seasonal,<br />
annual), throughout <strong>the</strong> region have failed to record an <strong>in</strong>dividual. Surveys should be over a time frame<br />
appropriate to <strong>the</strong> taxon’s life cycle and life form.<br />
CR Critically endangered: A taxon is Critically Endangered when <strong>the</strong> best available evidence <strong>in</strong>dicates<br />
that it meets any of <strong>the</strong> criteria A to E for Critically Endangered (see Species Survival Commission 2001),<br />
and it is <strong>the</strong>refore considered to be fac<strong>in</strong>g an extremely high risk of ext<strong>in</strong>ction <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> wild.<br />
en endangered <strong>in</strong> Victoria: when <strong>the</strong> best available evidence <strong>in</strong>dicates that <strong>the</strong> taxon meets any of <strong>the</strong><br />
criteria A to E for Endangered (see Species Survival Commission 2001), and it is <strong>the</strong>refore considered to<br />
be fac<strong>in</strong>g a very high risk of ext<strong>in</strong>ction <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> wild.<br />
VU Vulnerable <strong>in</strong> Victoria: when <strong>the</strong> best available evidence <strong>in</strong>dicates that <strong>the</strong> taxon meets any of <strong>the</strong><br />
criteria A to E for Vulnerable (see Species Survival Commission 2001), and it is <strong>the</strong>refore considered to<br />
be fac<strong>in</strong>g a high risk of ext<strong>in</strong>ction <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> wild.<br />
nT near Threatened: A taxon is Near Threatened when it has been evaluated aga<strong>in</strong>st <strong>the</strong> criteria but<br />
does not qualify for Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable now, but is close to qualify<strong>in</strong>g for, or<br />
is likely to qualify for a threatened category <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> near future.<br />
dd data deficient: A taxon is Data Deficient when <strong>the</strong>re is <strong>in</strong>adequate <strong>in</strong>formation to make a direct, or<br />
<strong>in</strong>direct, assessment of its risk of ext<strong>in</strong>ction based on its distribution and/or population status. A taxon<br />
<strong>in</strong> this category may be well studied, and its biology well known, but appropriate data on abundance<br />
and/or distribution are lack<strong>in</strong>g. Data Deficient is <strong>the</strong>refore not a category of threat. List<strong>in</strong>g of taxa <strong>in</strong><br />
this category <strong>in</strong>dicates that more <strong>in</strong>formation is required and acknowledges <strong>the</strong> possibility that future<br />
research will show that threatened classification is appropriate.<br />
