Click here to view species sighting metadata.

Species sighting information is extracted from the DETSI WildNet database.

Reports and statistics displayed on WetlandInfo use a subset of the sighting records that are not classed as erroneous or duplicate, that have a location precision equal to or less than 10,000 metres, and do not have a count of zero.

A report on any specific area includes sightings up to one kilometre outside of the area.

If a species is not listed in the report of a specific area, it does not mean the species is not present there. Similarly, a listed species may no longer inhabit the area. It is recommended that you also access other internal and external data sources for species information in your area of interest.

Information from WildNet can also be accessed via the WildNet Application and WetlandMaps.

The WildNet dataset is constantly being enhanced and the taxonomic and status information revised.

Rare or threatened includes species listed as extinct, extinct in the wild, critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or conservation dependent under either the Nature Conservation Act or Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act
