Assessment SummaryA risk assessment for the Red lory, Eos bornea 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 Red lory as not dangerous to humans, having a low establishment risk and with a low consequence of establishment. It was therefore proposed the species be assigned to a low threat category and may be imported.
