Fauna Recovery Plan: Forty-Spotted Pardalote 2006-2010

- Listed as endangered on the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
- Listed as endangered on the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995.

A Tasmanian endemic, the forty-spotted pardalote is restricted to four main populations on off-shore islands and peninsulas along the east coast. Populations are known from the south-east at Tinderbox and on Maria Island and Bruny Island, and also in the Bass Strait on Flinders Island. All populations, except for Flinders Island, occur in the Southern Natural Resource Management (NRM) Region. The Flinders Island population occurs in the Northern NRM Region. Estimates of the size of the population are below 4,000 individuals and the population is believed to have remained fairly stable over the decade between 1986 and 1997. The first Recovery Plan for the species was prepared in 1991 and expired in 1997.
