Least concern
An animal is least concern if:
- the wildlife is common or abundant and is likely to survive in the wild.
Native wildlife may be prescribed as least concern wildlife even if:
- the wildlife is the subject of a threatening process; or
- the population size or distribution of the wildlife has declined; or
- there is insufficient information about the wildlife to conclude whether the wildlife is common or abundant or likely to survive in the wild.
All animals previously listed as Common are now listed as Least Concern
