Assessment Summary
A risk assessment for the Peach-fronted conure, Aratinga aurea has been conducted by the department.
As a key component of risk assessment for import into Tasmania, conventional climate modelling was applied to compare the state’s environment with the species’ natural range CLIMATCH revealed “low” potential for suitable habitat across the entire state.
The risk assessment determined the Peach-fronted conure as not dangerous to humans, having a low establishment risk and with a moderate consequence of establishment. It was therefore proposed the species be assigned to a moderate threat category and may be imported and/or kept by those approved to hold moderate threat species.
