Critical Habitat

Critical Habitat is defined under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. They are areas of land that are crucial to the survival of particular threatened species, populations and ecological communities. This polygon layer contains Critical Habitat that has been declared and is now in operation. It does not include any recommendations (pending finalisation) nor does it include critical habitat where disclosing the location of critical habitat would expose the critical habitat to a significant threat eg. Wollemi Pine. The layer was last updated in 2014.\r\n\r\nAreas of declared critical habitat under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 have become the first Areas of Outstanding Biodiversity Value (AOBV) in New South Wales with the commencement of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. The Critical Habitat layer will transfer to the new title in the future.

Both Mitchell's Rainforest Snail and Gould's Petrel Critical Habitat areas occur on NPWS Estate and are protected.

根据1995年《濒危物种保护法》（Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995）定义，关键栖息地（Critical Habitat）指对特定濒危物种、种群及生态群落的存续至关重要的陆地区域。本多边形图层包含已公告并正式生效的关键栖息地，不包含任何待最终敲定的提案，也不包括那些公开位置会使其面临重大威胁的关键栖息地——例如瓦勒迈松（Wollemi Pine）的相关区域。本图层最后更新于2014年。

随着2016年《生物多样性保护法》（Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016）生效，依据1995年《濒危物种保护法》公告的关键栖息地区域，已成为新南威尔士州首批杰出生物多样性价值区（Areas of Outstanding Biodiversity Value, AOBV）。该关键栖息地图层未来将启用新的命名规范。更多信息可访问以下链接：https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/animals-and-plants/biodiversity/areas-of-outstanding-biodiversity-value/area-of-outstanding-biodiversity-value-register

注：规划空间数据引擎（SDE）数据库（2016年版）中的环境规划文书（EPI）关键栖息地图层，以及生物多样性价值（BV）地图，仅收录了曼利（Manly）的小企鹅栖息地。米切尔雨林蜗牛（Mitchell's Rainforest Snail）与古尔德海燕（Gould's Petrel）的关键栖息地区域均位于国家公园与野生动物服务局（NPWS）管理的土地上，并受到保护。
