The Cumberland Plain Priority Conservation Lands data was created to inform the Cumberland Plain Recovery Plan. For more information see: Report on the methodology for identifying priority conservation lands on the Cumberland Plain July 2010: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/threatenedspecies/CumberlandPlainRecoveryPlan.htm.; ; The Priority Conservation Lands identified the larger, better condition and better-connected remnants of vegetation on the Cumberland Plain whilst incorporating a sample of all EECs and attempting to incorporate habitat values for threatened species and regionally significant suites of species. Additional sites were included for endemic threatened plants where they were not adequately represented in the remnants.
