Elected representatives in government are in charge of the policy and funding that can make or break saving threatened species. Their decisions and actions matter.

Bean has or used to have 43 threatened animals within its boundaries. One of them is me, the Kermadec Petrel.

We took care to attach appropriate images that are as close to representative of each species as our resources and the availability of images allowed. However, we could not ensure perfect accuracy in every case. Some images show species that share the same genus but not at the species or subspecies level.

Kermadec Petrel

Pterodroma neglecta neglecta

Status: Vulnerable

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) lists threatened species under six categories:
Extinct, Extinct in the wild, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Conservation dependent. Read more about these categories

Pterodroma neglecta neglecta is found across 1 electorates.

The Kermadec Petrel has a length of 38 cm, a wingspan of 92 cm and a mass of 370–590 g. On Lord Howe Island, most birds express a dark plumage morph, which consists of an almost entirely dark brown or blackish-brown body, with a few spots of white or grey on the face, white bases to the primary feathers, and black legs and feet. However, some birds express a light plumage morph, which consists of a white or grey head, sooty-brown upperparts, white underparts, white bases to the primaries, and whitish-pink legs and feet. Others display plumage characters that are intermediate between these two extremes. In all plumage morphs the irides are brown and the bill is black.¹
