Three species assessed by Northern Territory

Comment on Listing Assessments

Invitation to comment

You are invited to provide your views about:

  • the eligibility of three species assessed by the Northern Territory Government using the Common Assessment Method for inclusion on the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) list of threatened species: [examples]
  • Erythroxylum sp. Cholmondely Creek (NT Population) (PDF - 708.54 KB) (a plant): List as Vulnerable
  • Elaeocarpus miegei (PDF - 687.8 KB) (a plant): List as Endangered
  • Tarrenoidea wallichii (PDF - 606.39 KB) (a plant): List as Endangered
  • the necessary conservation actions for the above species.

Anyone may nominate a native species, ecological community or key threatening process for listing, transfer to a new category, or deletion from the threatened species list under the EPBC Act. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) undertakes the assessment of species to determine eligibility for inclusion on the list of threatened species and provides its recommendation to the Australian Government Minister for the Environment.
