Leadbeater's Possum occupancy (greater than 65%) model

dataset: LBP_OCCUPY_CHRFA
The Leadbeater's Possum Advisory Group (LBPAG) established in 2013, was tasked with developing recommendations (actions) to support the recovery of Leadbeater's Possum (LBP) while maintaining a sustainable timber industry (LBPAG Recommendations Report, January 2014). Bushfires in February 2009 and ongoing habitat decline have led to a reduced population of Leadbeater's Possum. The remaining wild populations is therefore critical to the species' recovery. Prior to the LBPAG there was no specific protection for known colonies. LBPAG recommended that colonies are protected to aid the capacity for the species to recover. This will be achieved by removing threats that can be directly controlled (e.g. timber harvesting) or implement programs that minimise the risk of unplanned impacts (e.g. bushfire).

Purpose
The LBP occupancy model was developed to represent the current probable distribution of the species within the Central Highlands RFA. Occuancy models reflect the impact of recent disturbances (i.e. 2009 bushfires) on current patterns of habitat occupancy, in contrast to Species Distribution models which relfect patterns of habitat use over a longer period of time. The occupancy model was developed from randomised survey data collected across the public land estate to provide a contemporary view of where Leadbeater's Possum are most likely to occur in the landscape. This data is being used in conjunction with the SDMs to identify the most important areas for conservation. More specifically it is being used to identify areas predicted to have greater than 65% probability based on DELWPs occupancy model, where timber harvesting activities are being delayed (i.e. 2 years), while targeted LBP surveys are being undertaken. This will ensure that areas found to contain the species are adequately protected. This dataset is applicable to the Central Highlands Regional Forest Agreement area.
