This group of layers provides generalised or area of occupancy (AOO) gridded plants species that are listed as rare, protected or threatened (Endangered, Critically Endangered, Vulnerable, Protected, Rare) under the ACT Nature Conservation Act 2014 or the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999. A location without species mapped as present can be considered data deficient. Data sources include ACT Government surveys, consultant surveys and verified records Canberra Nature Map. Orchid and other sensitive species names and related attribution have been obfuscated to protect locations of species at risk of collection and disturbance as per the ACT Government Sensitive Ecological Spatial Data Policy (2024 in pub).Updates: Updated quarterly with new sightings including verified records from ACT Government surveys and Canberra Nature Map http://canberra.naturemapr.org/. The 2024 update incorporates a new methodology using an underlying ACT grid template, and implements a standardised method of generalising occurrence records to this grid (known as area of occupancy AOO).Caveat: Lack of identification a species at a site does not necessarily indicate that the plant does not occur there. It may be that appropriate survey of the site has yet to be undertaken. Even if a survey has been undertaken, the condition of habitat (or non-habitat) may have changed since the date of survey. On-ground inspection and verification of the values occurrence or non-occurrence may be necessary.Disclaimer: While all care is taken to ensure accuracy, the ACT Government does not warrant that the map is free from errors. © Australian Capital Territory
