ACT Threatened and Protected Plant Locations

ACT Threatened, Protected and Rare Plants provides location data for plant species of conservation interest in the Australian Capital Territory. The dataset, maintained by the ACT Government's Office of Nature Conservation, classifies species under the ACT Nature Conservation Act 2014 and the Commonwealth EPBC Act 1999.

Use Cases

• Map species locations classified as Endangered, Critically Endangered, Vulnerable, or Rare to support conservation planning.
• Analyze spatial distribution of listed species under the ACT Nature Conservation Act 2014 for habitat protection studies.
• Identify data-deficient locations where species presence is not mapped to prioritize field surveys.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the authoritative ACT Government Office of Nature Conservation.
• Classifies species under two legislative frameworks: the ACT Nature Conservation Act 2014 and the Commonwealth EPBC Act 1999.
• Dataset was updated in March 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• The dataset lacks explicit row and column counts, making its scale and feature set unknown.
• Primary file format is HTML, which is not optimal for structured data analysis without conversion.
• Sample data is unavailable, preventing preview of data structure and fields.
