Help save the Brush-tailed Phascogale (Phascogale tapoatafa) Conservation status in NSW: Vulnerable Commonwealth status: N/A Saving our Species management stream: Landscape species Species profile: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/threatenedspeciesapp/profile.aspx?id=10613 Saving our Species aims to conserve as many threatened species as possible. Experts have identified the distribution of the Brush-tailed Phascogale and the critical management actions required to conserve the species in the long-term. All conservation work being undertaken to conserve the Brush-tailed Phascogale around the state is vital to its recovery. If you are carrying out critical management actions within the species’ habitat, please contact us at www.environment.nsw.gov.au/savingourspecies/contactus.htm Map of Brush-tailed Phascogale distribution Legend Species distribution Threats to this species are outlined at http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/threatenedspeciesapp/profile.aspx?id=10613#threats . The actions listed in the action toolbox are supplementary to NSW legislation, policy and programs and can be used by stakeholders, where applicable, to guide management at a site, regional or state scale. 1 Action toolbox Action description Scale Conduct population monitoring at key locations subject to environmental disturbance (e.g. fire, habitat degradation) to improve understanding of the species' response to different disturbances and inform management. Site Design and implement ecological burns with the objective of maintaining suitable vegetation structure (open forest with sparse groundcover) within habitat known to be used by the species (e.g. Dinner Creek, Demon Nature Reserve). Site Negotiate agreements with relevant landholders, particularly in-perpetuity covenants or stewardship agreements, that promote the retention and connectivity of suitable native vegetation, including forested areas with stags, tree hollows and recruiting hollow-bearing trees. Site Encourage landholders to retain and protect hollow-bearing trees in suitable habitat. Ensure long-term hollow availability by protecting recruit trees, that is, trees that will be able to provide hollows when current hollow-bearing trees have died and fallen. Area Undertake a targeted community education program that raisies awareness about critical threats to the species, particularly predation from domestic cats, including what individuals can do to reduce threats to nearby populations (i.e. keeping cats indoors). Area Monitoring actions Regular monitoring of the effectiveness of management and the trajectory of local populations is an important component of landscape-managed species. The toolbox and any site-based management plans for landscape-managed species will be adapted, added or removed over time in response to monitoring results.
