SOUTH WEST FORESTS — ENDANGERED FLORA AND
FAUNA
520. Hon GIZ WATSON to the minister representing the
Minister for Environment:
I refer to the answer given to
question on notice 4456 of 2011, which lists five fauna species—that
is, red-tailed black cockatoo, noisy scrub-bird, brush-tailed phascogale,
woylie and Australasian bittern—as having moved to a higher category of
threat since the ''Forest management plan 2004–2013''
came into operation.
(1) Does the
minister acknowledge that, as stated in the end-of-term audit of performance
report of the FMP at page 75, Baudin's black cockatoo moved from vulnerable
to endangered in 2005?
(2) If yes to (1), why was this species omitted from the
list?

I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1)–(2) The
response to question on notice 4456 was incomplete as a result of an oversight
by the Department of Environment and Conservation. The nomination of Baudin's
black cockatoo as endangered was made prior to 2004 and was accepted by the
Threatened Species Scientific Committee in February 2004. The ''Forest
management plan 2004–2013'' came into effect on 1 January 2004.
