Guide for Decision-makers

The following management actions are required to aid the Christmas Island Hawk-owl viability and recovery:

1. Adequate resourcing of the identified management activities for the species;
2. Quarantine prevention of the introduction of new avian pathogens;
3. Quarantine prevention of the introduction of new invasive weeds; and
4. Quarantine prevention of the introduction of new predators.

This taxon is dependent on active conservation management.

Any action which would remove nesting sites or potential nesting sites; or remove or degrade habitat critical to survival, could result in a significant impact on the species and requires referral to the Commonwealth Environment Minister under the EPBC Act.
