Find actions by Key Threatening Process

The Department of Environment and Conservation has prepared a Priorities Action Statement (PAS) to promote the recovery of threatened species and the abatement of key threatening processes in New South Wales.

The Priorities Action Statement identifies a number of broad strategies to help threatened plants and animals recover in New South Wales. Each of these strategies have more specific priority actions within them.

A total of 21 strategies and 799 priority actions have been identified to help tackle the 31 key threatening processes listed in New South Wales. Click on the 'view actions' links to get more details about the strategies and actions for each threatening process.
