Threatened Species Prioritisation Dataset for Queensland, Australia

CSIRO and DETSI co-developed the Threatened Species Prioritisation Dataset - external to underpin the Threatened Species Decision Tool (TSDT). The dataset includes information such as species name, conservation status, habitat location, recovery cost-effectiveness, threats, and recovery actions. Sensitive location information for confidential species has been removed from this external version.

Use Cases

• Prioritizing conservation funding based on recovery cost-effectiveness data mentioned in the description
• Identifying key threats to species based on listed threat information
• Mapping potential habitat areas based on species record and habitat location data
• Shortlisting species for specific projects using the integrated species and status information

Strengths

• Co-developed by CSIRO and DETSI, indicating institutional collaboration
• Underpins the operational Threatened Species Decision Tool (TSDT)
• Explicitly states removal of sensitive location data for confidential species

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing on Queensland, Australia
