Each feature in this layer represents an on-ground Saving our Species (SoS) management site for a NSW threatened species or ecological community. Sites do not necessarily represent the entire distribution of the species or ecological community. Species or ecological community experts originally identified the location and extent of management sites, and the spatial geometry is maintained and updated to reflect new information on an on-going basis by the SoS Project Coordinator via the SoS Database. In this publicly available dataset, if the species is considered sensitive as per the NSW Government Sensitive Species Data Policy, or if the site has restricted access, then a site is denatured to its Local Government Area extent. Sites are justified as either priority or contributing sites. Priority sites are where experts have determined that managing threats will lead to securing threatened species and ecological communities in the long term. Contributing sites are where threat management being undertaken may support a threatened species or ecological community. Access the Saving our Species conservation strategy public register for more information on proposed and active SoS management of threats to threatened species and ecological communities. About: Saving our Species (SoS) is an ambitious conservation commitment being undertaken in New South Wales. It is a movement involving volunteers, scientists, businesses, community groups and the NSW Government, all coming together to secure the future of Australia’s unique plants and animals. The objective of SoS is straightforward: to maximise the number of threatened species that are secure, and threatened ecological communities that are viable, in the wild in New South Wales for 100 years by mitigating the critical threats facing our threatened plants and animals at priority and contributing management sites.
