Biodiversity Strategy - Gosford City Council - NSW Government

Conservation Act 1999 (see Appendix 4). Table 5.15 summarises the numbers of species in
each category.
Of the 60 or so native mammals found in Gosford City,
almost 40% are at risk of becoming endangered in the
next 15 years **.
Other regions such as the North Coast bioregion are
considered to be extremely high in biodiversity however a comparison with Byron Shire in terms
of threatened species numbers shows that Gosford has a comparable high number of
threatened species, reflecting the high biodiversity of the area (See Table 5.16)
