Conservation groups say plan contains no meaningful action to address bird’s key threat of native forest logging
But release of the plan was news to the official recovery team for the swift parrot.
They first saw the document after it was provided by journalists seeking expert feedback on the new plan. “The crux of the issue is the minister put out a media release saying the recovery plan has been released and yet no one on the recovery team had seen it,” said Mick Roderick, BirdLife Australia’s representative on the recovery team.
The plan acknowledges that sugar glider predation is worse where habitat loss is severe, such as logged areas. Stojanovic is a member of the ANU’s difficult birds group, which has been responsible for monitoring the species and conducting research including genetic analysis. The spokesperson said the government understood the environmental value of native forests and it was proposing reforms that would require regional forestry agreements between the federal government and states to comply with national environmental laws.
