Western Australia ; Conservation status

The Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 provides for the listing of threatened native plants (flora), threatened native animals (fauna) and threatened ecological communities that need protection as critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable species or ecological communities because they are under identifiable threat of extinction (species) or collapse (ecological communities).

The Western Australian Threatened Species Scientific Committee and the Threatened Ecological Communities Scientific Committee review nominations to list, delist or change the threat status of threatened species and ecological communities, and use the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List criteria for assigning species and communities to threat categories.

This list is a concatenation of the WA flora and fauna state lists which have been downloaded from https://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/images/documents/plants-animals/threatened-species/Listings/Threatened%20and%20Priority%20Flora%20List_6%20October%202022.xlsx and https://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/images/Threatened%20and%20Priority%20Fauna%20List%207%20October%202022.xlsx and parsed for use in the Atlas of Living Australia.
