Figure 1. The total potential threat load to Australian threatened and Near Threatened birds inside and outside Australian territory and the realised threat load in 2010 and 2020 for 6 classes of threat (all scores normalised to 100 against total threat load across all taxa/populations; threat classes follow Kearney et al. (Citation2023; see Table S3 for how fine-scale threats are condensed into these broader threat classes).

Figure 4. Trends in the management of the 10 most important fine-scale threats to threatened and Near Threatened Australian birds in 2020: (a) % of the total threat load for all Australian birds; (b) % total knowledge need met; (c) % total management need met. Of the 201 threats identified, the top 10 encompassed 51.3% of the total threat load.
