Hmm, how very convenient, thanks for that, good to see accounting tricks are alive and well in Victoria!

I think John meant this to come to everyone, not just me.  Certainly a point worth sharing.

Hi Phil et al,

To put the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons, in Victoria the Advisory List of Threatened Vertebrate Fauna in Victoria (DSE 2013) doesn't consider species that are considered Near Threatened to be threatened by definition, therefore only having 3 categories of threatened status - vulnerable, endangered, critically endangered.

Many of the Vic species fall into the NT category.

Cheers

Yes: but they can easily be filtered out if that is what Phil wants.

Phil: disregard my last message: see https://birdlife.org.au/conservation/science/taxonomy and down load the working list  which contains the conservation status.



I am preparing a talk for the Colombian Bird Fair and urgently need some data on the total of species in each conservation category, which seems to be remarkably opaque on the BirdLife sites and Threatened Bird Network sites. All I need know is how many in each category
How many Critically Endangered CR?
How Many Near Threatened NT ?
How Many Vulnerable VU?

If there is a link to such information I’d love to access it. Can anyone help please? Thanks
