L Snipe and Common Myna recommendations

SAC Exec Officer – 2013

For the information of list members.

The Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (FFG Act) Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) has recently published its assessment (recommendation reports) of two bird items nominated for listing unedr the FFG Act.

The items are

Latham’s Snipe

and

‘Competition with native fauna by the Common Myna Sturnus tristis’ (potentially threatening process)

The SAC has found that the nominations for these items do not meet any of the listing criteria in the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Regulations 2011 and have therefore recommended to the Minister for Environment & Climate Change that they be rejected for listing..

Copies of the SAC’S recommendations can be viewed at the following website:
