6.2 KEY BIODIVERSITY ASSETS Biodiversity Action Planning (BAP) attempts to take a strategic approach toward the conservation of threatened and declining species and vegetation types, by looking for opportunities to conserve groups of species, in appropriate ecosystems. The identification of the appropriate biodiversity assets to focus conservation effort, is the most critical part of the BAP process. together the birds, animals and plants that utilise the same type of habitat. As per the focal species approach, by protecting these assets, we are conserving habitat for a suite of threatened species associated with that habitat. For example, by as a key biodiversity asset, it incorporates all of the species that live in, and use Grassy Woodlands, as well as the individual threatened species. Another benefit of this approach is that specific actions can be developed. (Section 7.0) based on the requirements of each asset (eg. to counter threats and improve the status of the asset) Planning and implementation of on-ground works and actions that specifically target each of these assets, can then be undertaken (GBCMA in prep.) Eight key biodiversity assets have been identified for the Hughes Creek Landscape Zone. The 1787 BAP sites have been categorised according to the dominant asset type. For further information on each asset, along with threatened species examples, refer to Table 3. Photo: Long-nosed Bandicoot (Perameles nasuta). Photo Ian McCann 23
