How can I see data about threatened and other sensitive species?

Information relating to threatened species records is not publicly available via BIO. General, obfuscated records of threatened species records are available through location searches in the species list function. BIO is trialling the delivery of threatened species records for approved internal users, but at the current time expanded threatened species information still needs to be requested via DBCA’s Species and Communities Branch. Threatened ecological communities information will also need to be requested via DBCA’s Species and Communities Branch.

BIO is also working with other States and Territories to develop a national best-practice approach to sharing threatened species data to the public with reduced geographic precision. When complete, this approach will be implemented in Dandjoo, safely allowing public users to view threatened species records.
