The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) provides for the identification and listing of processes that threaten the survival, abundance or ecological function of native species or ecological communities. These are known as key threatening processes.
A threat abatement plan can be put into place if it is shown to be 'a feasible, effective and efficient way' to abate the threatening process. Threat abatement plans provide for the research, management, and any other actions necessary to reduce the impact of a listed key threatening process. Implementing the plan should assist the long-term survival in the wild of affected native species or ecological communities.
