Recovery plan for the Northern Quoll Dasyurus hallucatus

This recovery plan was released in 2010 with the ultimate goal of haulting the decline of the Northern Quoll, which are threatened with extinction by cane toads as they have a susceptibility to the toxin. This plan focused on conservation measures for the Northern Quoll such as quarantining island populations and the like to prevent cane toad colonisation, fostering the recovery of populations already threatend by cane toads, and identifying and reducing the threats to quolls in areas where cane toads do not exist.

National recovery plan for the Specatacled Flying Fox Pteropus conspicillatus

The Spectacled Flying Fox is consdiered a vulnerable species under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and so this plan was developed by the Queensland and Australian Government's in order to secure long term protection of the flying fox populations by reducing the impact of threats from predators and gathering information about the Spectacled Flying Fox to guide conservation actions.

Recovery plan for the stream-dwelling rainforest frogs of the wet tropics biogeographic region of north-east Queensland 2000–2004

This plan was released in 2001 by the Natural Heritage Trust and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service with the ultimate goal of improving the conservation status of particular species of stream dwelling rainforest frogs within the Wet Tropics. This goal was to be achieved by ensuring the continued existence of pre-existing populations of T. acutirostris, T. rheophilus, L. lorica and L. nyakalensis., identifying and eliminating the frogs main threats, and ensuring that frog conservation was included in all land management decisions.

Whale Shark recovery plan 2005-2010

The whale shark is the world's largest fish and one of only three filter feeding shark species, it was listed as vulnerable in 2001 under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC).

The goal of this plan was to imrpove the conservation status of the Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus by affording the same level of protection in Australian waters in the long term and increasing the levels of prortection in the Indian Ocean and South East Asian waters.

National recovery plan for the bare-rumped sheethtail bat Saccolaimus saccolaimus nudicluniatus

This plan was released in 2007 with the goal of improving the conservation status of the then critically endangered bare-rumped sheethtail bat. Restrictions on conservation efforts such as a poor understanding of species distribution and population location made the objective of this plan difficult. The actions of this recovery plan included characterising the echolocation call of the bare-rumped sheethtail bat, establishing population monitoring, conservation of roosting sites, and improving the knowledge of roosting requirements for the bat species.

Recovery plan for threatened seabirds

This plan attempted to improve the conservation status of ten species of Sea Birds by protecting and effectively managing breeding and foraging habitats and ensuring that threats such as pest flora and fauna dont prevent population growth.

The species of sea birds covered by this plan were; the The Antarctic Tern (Indian Ocean) (Sterna vittata vittata), the Blue Petrel (Halobaena caerulea), the Fairy Prion (southern) (Pachyptila tutur subantarctica), the Heard Shag (Phalacrocorax nivalis), the Macquarie Shag (Phalacrocorax purpurascens), the Soft-plumaged Petrel (Pterodroma mollis) and the Australian Lesser Noddy (Anous tenuirostris melanops) which are listed as vulnerable; The Antarctic Tern (New Zealand) (Sterna vittata bethunei) which was listed as endangered; and the The Round Island Petrel (Pterodroma arminjoniana) and the Herald Petrel (Pterodroma heraldica) which were listed as critically endangered Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

Plan for the recovery of the southern cassowary

The southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) occurs primarily in rainforest habitats but can also be found in woodlands, swamps, and disturbed vegetation forraging for fruits throughout the Wet Tropics. The species has been classified as endangered for some time under both the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992.

This plan aimed to improve the conservation status of the cassowary through a number of actions. Those actions included completing the mapping of cassowary habitat and movement corridors, minimsing the impact of road deaths and feral animals, developing cassowary local area plans, establishing a rescue, rehababilitation and release program, reasearching the genome of the cassowary population around Mission Beach, and implementing surveying and monitoring actions to increase the knowledge base on known and potentially unknown cassowary populations.

National recovery plan for the buff-breasted button-quail Turnix olivii

The buff-breasted button quail was listed as endangered under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and vulnerable and Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992 prompting the development of this national recovery plan. The primary objectives of this plan were to facilitatite the growing and improvement of the knowledge base for the buff-breasted button quail, secure the survival of existing bird populations, identifying the species major threats, and increasing the availablilty and quality of potential habitat to foster population regrowth.

National recovery plan for the water mouse (false water rat) Xeromys myoides

The water mouse is listed as vulnerable under the Commonwealth Environmental Protection and Biodiversity and Conservation Act 1999 prompting the development of this plan in 2010 in order to improve the conservation status of the species by habitat conservation, threat reduction, research and public participation activities.

National recovery plan for the wet tropics yellow-bellied glider Petaurus australis unnamed subspecies

The Wet Tropics yellow bellied glider is a small marsupial classified as vulnerable under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity  Conservation Act 1999 and Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992. The gliders habitat is restricted to wet eucalypt forest between rainforest and direr woodlands as these habitats provide the majority of the gliders sappy food.

This plan aimed to manage the impacts of threats to the yelow bellied glider, alleviating pressure in all regions and fostering population recovery. Recovery actions intended by the plan include but are not soley limited to genetic analysis, habitat monitoring, cearly defining distribution, working with pastoralists to use effective grazing practices and altering barbed wire fences in glider habitat to reduce wire related deaths, protecting and managing habitat outside of already protected areas, and implementing effective fire refimes to reduce hot burns and damage to nesting sites.
