Assessment Summary
A risk assessment for the Yellow-bibbed lory, Lory lorius chlorocercus 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 Yellow-bibbed 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.
Following the initial risk assessment the department considers permitting the importation of Yellow-bibbed lory into Tasmania upon application.
