About the recovery plan
The Threatened Tasmanian Orchids Flora Recovery Plan was prepared by the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment, and has been adopted under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) as the national recovery plan for 36 orchid species listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
This is the first national recovery plan for seven of the orchid species, and a revised national recovery plan for the remaining 29 orchid species, all of which are endemic to Tasmania. The recovery plan sets out those actions that over the next 10 years aim to maintain self-sustaining subpopulations of species, to increase the likelihood of each species becoming self-sustaining in the long-term, and to establish a genetically representative ex situ collection of each species.
