The colour grids and numbers are an indication of the location and number of endemic species that have all their known range outside of the National Reserve System. Concentrations of unreserved endemic species may be useful focal areas for private land conservation efforts.
Endemism analyses were provided by the Australian Government Department of Environment Australian Natural Heritage Assessment Tool (ANHAT). The ANHAT database has been compiled from specimens and site records held in state agency wildlife atlases, museum collections, and the work of individual researchers.

It should be noted that the identification of any given invasive species above does not imply that the species is found uniformly across the Conservation Management Zone. The % of the zone area (**) indicates how common or rare the species may be within the zone.

Vegetation profiles and management recommendations
Vegetation extent information and species lists contained in the vegetation profiles are based on analysis from the National Vegetation Information System (NVIS), including analysis of Major Vegetation Subgroups and NVIS Level V descriptions. Please see http://www.environment.gov.au/node/18930 for more information.
The management recommendations have been drawn from EPBC Act Recovery Plans, EPBC Act Ecological Communities Listing Advice and other sources. The recommendations are indicative only. Systematic reviews of management literature, consultation processes and improved Natural Resource Management program monitoring and evaluation will support development of a comprehensive set of management recommendations over time.

Encourage uptake of conservation Agreements and covenants on private land. See: http://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au for information on covenants and private land conservation.
Protect from firewood harvesting.
Protect paddock trees.
|
Fence, and exclude stock from remnants.
Minimise spray drift from adjacent agricultural lands.
Maintain native vegetation remnants and paddock trees as this provides protection against dryland salinity.
Fence paddock trees. If no saplings appear after fencing and stock exclusion, then replant with tubestock from locally sourced seed.
Use shade cloth to construct artificial paddock shade and prevent stock camping under trees.
Minimise ground and surface water extraction.
|
Overstorey eucalypt species may not easily regenerate if sites have been previously grazed. Sites that have retained mosses and lichens are more likely to regenerate naturally.
Undertake revegetation where no natural regeneration occurs. Ensure seed and tubestock are locally sourced and attempt to replicate the structure and diversity of local, high quality remnants on similar soils and aspect.
Monitor and actively manage weed species in rehabilitation sites.
|
Reduce the incidence and extent of wildfire by undertaking mosaic burning, maintaining a diversity of vegetation age classes across unburnt patches.
Fire is an important ecological process to stimulate regeneration. Please consult your local Natural Resource Management region for advice on site appropriate fire regimes.
|
If fallen timber has been removed from remnants, replace with coarse woody debris (such as untreated railway sleepers). Fallen timber provides habitat for wildlife.
Maintain and protect mature trees as it can take 150–180 years for tree hollows to develop. Hollow provide shelter and breeding habitat for mammals and birds.
If few or no mature hollow bearing trees are present within remnants, provide nesting boxes. Monitor regularly for invasive birds and feral honey bees.
Ensure fencing is wildlife fencing –no electric fencing, and no barbed wire.
|
Monitor and manage weeds in remnants and surrounding agricultural lands.
Moraea fugax, M. collina and M. flaccida, Hesperantha spp. and Sparaxis spp bulb species are particularly problematic in Wandoo woodland remnants.
|
Manage foxes, rabbits and feral cats.
Ensure foxes and rabbits are managed simultaneously to avoid foxes switching to predation on native species or increases in rabbit populations.
|
Maintain strict hygiene protocols to avoid spreading Phytophthora by vehicle tyres, earthmoving machinery and boots.
Treat dieback with phosphite in early Summer, and repeat 4–5 weeks later. Sites should be treated for a wide area around an infected site.
Remove all parts of affected plants, including as much of the root system as possible.
Manage public access to control the spread of dieback.
