BLACK COCKATOOS
I gave some notice of this question in May. I refer to the conservation of the three endangered species of black cockatoo. (1) Does the minister accept that black cockatoos are endangered and their populations continue to decline? (2) Does the minister accept that habitat fragmentation and loss of native food sources caused by urban development are major threats to black cockatoos? (3) If yes to (2), will the minister immediately declare all remaining cockatoo habitat environmentally sensitive areas under the clearing regulations? (4) If no to (3), why not? (5) If no to (3), what is the minister doing to prevent further decline in black cockatoo numbers? Hon HELEN MORTON

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. This advice was provided to me by the Minister for Environment. (1) Baudin’s and Carnaby’s black cockatoo species are ranked as endangered and the forest red-tailed black cockatoo is ranked as vulnerable. There is insufficient evidence to determine whether the three species are continuing to decline. (2) Urban development is an issue for the Carnaby’s black cockatoo, but is not as significant an issue for the other species. (3)–(4) Recognition of the threatened status of each species is already a key consideration under assessments of proposed clearing of native vegetation pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act 1986. (5) The Department of Environment and Conservation is implementing recovery plans for all three species. A special allocation of $800 000 was provided under the state natural resource management program between 2009 and 2011 to assist conservation of the Carnaby’s black cockatoo. This has funded habitat mapping and information on providing habitat protection for private landowners, including identifying and planting habitat trees and the use of artificial nest boxes. The government is also working with the commonwealth on matters surrounding the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 for development impacting on matters of national environmental significance, including black cockatoos, in the Perth and Peel regions.
