Public comment
You are invited to comment on this draft national recovery plan in accordance with the provisions of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) by 17 December 2021.
The draft National Recovery Plan for the Eastern Bristlebird (Dasyornis brachypterus) was prepared by the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment and is proposed to be made as the national recovery plan for this species under the EPBC Act.
The Eastern Bristlebird occurs in small pockets of eastern Australia. The species is listed in the Endangered category under the EPBC Act. Habitat loss, due to inappropriate fire regimes, urbanisation and agriculture, is recognised as the main process that has reduced the distribution and abundance of the Eastern Bristlebird in the last 150 years. Other threats include climate change, invasive species and disease.
The draft national recovery plan provides information on distribution, habitat, threatening processes, and presents the actions considered necessary to recover this species.
