About the recovery plan

The Littoral Rainforest and Coastal Vine Thickets of Eastern Australia Ecological Community occurs along the east coast of Australia, from near Cooktown in Queensland to Gippsland Lakes in Victoria. It is listed as Critically Endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), as its distribution has been reduced and severely fragmented due to land clearing from coastal development, sand mining and agriculture. The ecological community continues to be threatened by land clearance and development, weed invasion, recreational disturbance, animal browsing/grazing and fire. 
 
The recovery plan establishes a national framework to guide and coordinate the implementation of research and management actions to assist the recovery of the ecological community throughout its range. The objective of the plan is to abate identified threats and prevent further decline in the extent, condition and functional integrity of the ecological community.
