Enhancing Biodiversity Hotspots Along Western Queensland Stock ...

RECOMMENDATIONS: The South West NRM region has a number of sites where
Major Mitchell’s cockatoo are regularly sighted. However, further research needs to
be done to identify the biodiversity hotspots for this species, in both the South West
and Desert Channels NRM regions and to determine how the stock routes relate in
respect to the connectivity and linkage of these sites. As this species have a strong
fidelity for nesting hollows, a first step would be to survey and map the known nesting
sites.
Recommended management actions for the Angelalla site are protecting nesting
trees from being pulled, encouraging a low intensity fires, and coordinated control of
feral cats.
At the Angelalla site priority should be given to protecting the area from any clearing
of vegetation.
