It appears sensible to me that the Powerful Owls
are not Declared threatened in the ACT . There are so few of them in the
ACT that protection status is not much of an issue. More to the point, their
favoured habitat is well preserved in the ACT. There is little more that would
need to be done for them. Compared to so many other species that live in
woodland habitat that is under threat. In NSW the situation is different, as
unlike ACT, a lot of NSW forest habitat is in decline (in historical terms).
They are not as specialist in feeding as has been previously
thought.
