Threatened species known to occur in the Urban Melbourne area
Karkarook Park must play a part in supporting biodiversity and threatened species in our suburban area.
Quoting from the report:
"Threatened species are considered to be priorities for local protection and recovery work. In many circumstances, work to protect and enhance their health and resilience will also benefit other native animal species and the local habitat. The following table shows some of the threatened species and ecological communities that have been recorded in this area. A full list of the threatened species known to occur in this region since 1980 is available at the Data tables section of this strategy. "
We need to:
identify threatened species currently resident or transient at Karkarook Park
develop habitat to enable many species (threatened as well as common) to return to the park
