Bushfire recovery 2020-2022 : priority actions for threatened species in Oakview and Nangur National Parks, South-East Queensland / Prepared by: Threatened Species Operations, Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and Partnerships, Department of Environment and Science

'The bushfires of late 2019 to early 2020 had extensive ecological impacts across Australia. The most fire-affected threatened species in Queensland were prioritised for recovery efforts through an expert evaluation process led by the Department of Environment and Science (DES), in collaboration with the Australian Government's 'Wildlife and Threatened Species Bushfire Recovery Expert Panel'. In March 2020, the Queensland Bushfire Recovery Program was established with assistance from the Australian Government's Bushfire Recovery for Wildlife and their Habitats initiative, to implement emergency response projects across strategic locations, including Oakview and Nangur National Parks. At these parks, two threatened reptile species were prioritised for recovery actions: the Oakview leaf-tailed gecko Phyllurus kabikabi and the Nangur spiny skink Nangura spinosa. Both species are restricted to the semi-evergreen vine forest and listed as Critically Endangered under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA).' -- Summary.
