The Wilderness Society (TWS) has initiated legal proceedings against the Australian federal government, claiming that successive environment ministers failed to create mandatory recovery plans for endangered species, including the greater glider and the Baudin's cockatoo. Recovery plans are essential for recovering species at risk of extinction, outlining necessary actions. TWS argues that the government’s ongoing neglect violates legal obligations to protect biodiversity. The lawsuit seeks to compel the environment minister to establish relevant recovery plans for 11 specifically named endangered species, which have been inadequately prioritized for action.
TWS alleges that successive federal environment ministers have unlawfully failed to create necessary recovery plans for endangered species, hindering efforts to prevent extinction.
This legal case underscores the urgent need for the federal environment minister to fulfill their legal obligation and create recovery plans for endangered native species.
