Table 1 - Recovery Plan Performance Criteria and Actions
| Objective | Performance Criteria | Actions |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Implement threat abatement strategies | Rat and cat predation not posing a significant threat to Robin and Whistler population recoveryQuarantine protocols for Norfolk and Phillip Islands reviewed and updated as necessaryResponsible Cat ownership widely accepted and practiced | Predator control within NINPTest effectiveness of, and if appropriate, expand predator control program outside NINPReview quarantine protocols between Norfolk and Phillip IslandsPromote and support responsible Cat ownership |
| 2. Increase the extent of occurrence of the taxa and their total population size | A minimum of 500 breeding pairs of Robins and 600 breeding pairs of Whistlers within 5 yearsFragmentation of key habitat on private land reversed through incentives for fencing, weed removal and planting native speciesRange expansion established outside NINP within 4 years, especially in Public ReservesPlanning for second populations on Phillip Island, pending the establishment of sufficient suitable habitat | 5. Provide incentives and information for habitat restoration on private land6. Produce a translocation protocol and conduct local translocations if needed7. Assess habitat suitability on Phillip Island and plan translocations |
| 3. Sufficient biological data to guide recovery program | Biological data used to guide threat abatement, community awareness, translocation, and habitat restoration programsBird monitoring data updated annually to track population trends, status, and range, and test predator control programs | 8. Collect habitat requirement and other biological data to guide recovery program9. Conduct multi-species monitoring of all threatened NI land bird species annually |
| 4. Increase community involvement in and awareness of threatened bird recovery programs | Increased community involvement in reporting sightings, population surveys and monitoring, and habitat restorationRegular reporting of results to the local community | 10. Promote public awareness and involvement11. Train and involve community in population monitoring and surveys |
| 5. Implement the Recovery Plan through a Recovery Team | Successful operation of the recovery program over 5 yearsAnnual monitoring of progress against objectives and performance criteriaExternal review of the recovery program conducted after 4 years |
