Threatened Species and Ecological Communities within the Project Area

Thirty-eight threatened plant species, twenty-seven threatened animal species, and five threatened ecological communities have been identified within the project area. All face significant risks of localised extinction if strip mining proceeds.

 

Three of these ecological communities, along with several plant and animal species, are listed as Critically Endangered - this is Australia's highest conservation status before extinction in the wild.

​

This will be the largest vegetation clearance in Victoria of any recent development despite the changes GCM have made to the project.
