Assessment Summary
A Risk Assessment for the Indian ringneck parrot, Psittacula krameri has been conducted by Environmental Consultants.
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 “high” potential for suitable habitat across the entire state.
The risk assessment determined the Indian ringneck parrot as not dangerous to humans, having a serious establishment risk and with a serious consequence of establishment. It was therefore proposed the species be assigned to a extreme threat category and import be prohibited.
