Species at risk and their Recovery Process
| Species name | Recommended recovery actions | Recommended recovery actions notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PIL1 | ||||
| Macrotis lagotis (Greater Bilby) | Feral animal control | No data | ||
| Macrotis lagotis (Greater Bilby) | Habitat retention through reserves | No data | ||
| Macrotis lagotis (Greater Bilby) | Research | Status of Mulga Downs population is uncertain. Needs to be examined for basic documentation of distribution and abundance, and threatening processes. Other populations appear to be secure | ||
| Morelia olivacea barroni (Olive Python (Pilbara subspecies)) | Other - describe | Not threatened and should not be on list. | ||
| Rhinonicteris aurantius (Orange Leaf-nosed Bat) | Habitat protection on other state lands | No data | ||
| Rhinonicteris aurantius (Orange Leaf-nosed Bat) | Habitat retention through reserves | No data | ||
| Rhinonicteris aurantius (Orange Leaf-nosed Bat) | Other - describe | Mining industry needs to be involved in conservation. | ||
| Rhinonicteris aurantius (Orange Leaf-nosed Bat) | Research | Status of population is uncertain. Apparent reliance upon dis-used mine workings in east Pilbara is of concern, given chances of re-mining. | ||
| PIL2 | ||||
| Macrotis lagotis (Greater Bilby) | Feral animal control | No data | ||
| Macrotis lagotis (Greater Bilby) | Habitat retention through reserves | No data | ||
| Macrotis lagotis (Greater Bilby) | Research | Status of Mulga Downs population is uncertain. Needs to be examined for basic documentation of distribution and abundance, and threatening processes. | ||
| Morelia olivacea barroni (Olive Python (Pilbara subspecies)) | Other - describe | None needed. Not threatened and should not be on list. | ||
| Rhinonicteris aurantius (Orange Leaf-nosed Bat) | Research | Status of population is uncertain. Needs to be examined for basic documentation of distribution and abundance, and threatening processes. | ||
| PIL3 | ||||
| Lepidium catapycnon (Hamersley Lepidium, Hamersley Catapycnon) | Research | Status of population is uncertain. Needs basic documentation of distribution and abundance, and threatening processes. | ||
| Morelia olivacea barroni (Olive Python (Pilbara subspecies)) | Other - describe | None required. Pilbara population is secure and widespread. No additional action required. | ||
| Rhinonicteris aurantius (Orange Leaf-nosed Bat) | Habitat protection on other state lands | No data | ||

| Rhinonicteris aurantius (Orange Leaf-nosed Bat) | Habitat retention through reserves | No data | ||
| Rhinonicteris aurantius (Orange Leaf-nosed Bat) | Research | Status of this species in PIL3 is uncertain. More survey work is required, as habitat appears highly suitable. | ||
| Thryptomene wittweri (Mountain Thryptomene) | Research | Status of population is uncertain. Needs basic documentation of distribution and abundance, and threatening processes. | ||

| Caretta caretta (Loggerhead Turtle) | Habitat retention through reserves | Habitat retention through reserves or on other State lands or by section 16a agreements on private lands. | ||
| Chelonia mydas (Green Turtle) | Feral animal control | Likely that control of foxes and cats would contribute to recovery. | ||
| Chelonia mydas (Green Turtle) | Habitat protection on other state lands | No data | ||
| Chelonia mydas (Green Turtle) | Habitat protection on private lands | No data | ||
| Chelonia mydas (Green Turtle) | Habitat retention through reserves | Retention of island reserves, and protection of other nesting locations on leasehold or other reserve lands. | ||
| Ctenotus angusticeps (Airlie Island Ctenotus) | Capacity building with stakeholders (specify) | Capacity building required with industry. | ||
