Terrestrial Invertebrates

The Animal working groups addressed terrestrial and freshwater avian, mammal, fish, herptiles and macro-invertebrate targets.

Thirteen species of invertebrates were identified as needing direct conservation action. The portfolio identifies the following viable occurrences and their surrounding survey site for primary invertebrate targets:

50 sites for target insects

32 rare mussel populations or metapopulations

Of the qualifying occurrences of rare invertebrate species that have been located, 13% are now on secured (GAP1-3) land with 3% protected on biodiversity reserves (GAP1). Fifty-four percent of invertebrate species were still in urgent need of both protection and inventory efforts.
