Sebastian Lang from the Office of the Threatened Species Commissioner, starting the day with a presentation on the Australian government's Threatened Species Strategy and the 30 priority plants
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
Cathy Offord @RBGSydney - 'many translocations fail' highlighting need for ANPC's translocation guidelines and their review
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
Tony Auld, NSW OEH, on how translocation and ex situ conservation fits into the strategic plan of managing species. Global warming threatening Little Mountain Palm top of Mt Gower Lord Howe Island - nowhere to go, translocate?
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
Leonie Monks @WAParksWildlife on ecological factors affecting the success of rare flora translocations, long term monitoring is essential
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
ANPC Vice President Bob Makinson on the ANPC's vital role in plant conservation in Australia. 'The ANPC is the mycorrhizae supporting plant conservation in Australia' - join today!
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
Jen Silcock @TSR_Hub - reviewing success of 950 plant translocation projects in Australia! Plant translocation is high risk, high cost and labour intensive
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
Nathan Emery @RBGSydney on Persoonia pauciflora germination, pollination and translocation in Hunter, browsing and frost main impacts. Involve the community in translocation to get better conservation outcomes.

Heidi Zimmer NSW OEH - Wollomi Pine translocated to a Blue Mtns site to reduce risk of losing wild populations from fire etc.
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
David Coote NSW OEH - Asterolasia buxifolia rediscovered in 2001, trial 60 seedlings planted 2016, 100% survival so far!
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
Di Brown NSW OEH - Coastal Fontainea, only 10 wild plants, 24 translocation sites clumped to promote cross pollination - Adopt-a-Font!
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
ANPC Project Manager Lucy Commander on the review of ANPC Translocation Guidelines, to include new case studies, climate change, offsets
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
Noushka Reiter @RBG_Victoria - Orchid translocation success depends on seed set, specific pollinators, and mycorrhizal fungi
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
Peter Cuneo @RBGSydney - Threatened plants are an eclectic bunch! Cost increases with difficulty of propagation and seed collection.
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
James Brazill-Boast NSW OEH on the Saving Our Species program, 68 plant species only known from one location! Translocation critical
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
Julie McInnes NSW OEH on licensing requirements for translocations in NSW, need to develop translocation proposal, consider sourcing of material, use ANPC guidelines
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
ANPC President Linda Broadhurst on provenance, genetic diversity and assisted migration - local adaptation of local vs foreign provenance less widespread than originally thought
Australian Network for Plant Conservation:
ANPC Committee member David Coates summarising the Threatened Species Recovery Hub's threatened plant reintroduction project.
