Monitoring Monitoring the recovery of the boggomoss and the implementation of this recovery plan should be undertaken by measurement of the key indicators shown in Table 5. The most critical indicator is the estimated species population. 5: Summary of indicators and targets. Objective Indicator Performance criteria Target type Recovery goal Outcome Estimated total population size Population levels of the boggomoss snail are increased over baseline estimated in year 2 to a point where population is considered self-sustaining. Objective 1 Outcome Extent of connectivity between By 2025, demonstrated increase in suitable habitat patches connectivity of habitats with snail populations, compared to extent known in 2016 with monitoring of progress done every two years. Objective 1 Outcome Extent of suitable habitat (including By 2025, 20% increase in appropriate microhabitat and quality of canopy habitat in suitable condition for cover) boggomoss snails with monitoring of progress done every two years. Objective 2 Threat Proportion of known habitat By 2027, 50% decrease in proportion of patches where trampling impacts impacted habitat compared to baseline and signs of pigs are obvious to be established in year two. Objective 2 Threat Mapped incidence of fires in known By 2027, decrease in proportion of habitat patches habitat under threat from fire compared to baseline to be established in year two. Objective 2 Threat Mapped extent of invasive species By 2027, decrease in proportion of habitat with invasive grasses compared to baseline to be established in year two. Objective 3 Process Captive snail population By 2018, a captive population of snails is held and successful breeding recorded. Objective 3 Outcome Number of snails successfully By 2025, up to 200 snails successfully translocated into suitable habitat in re-introduced to appropriate habitats. the wild Objective 3 Management Reports and papers documenting Reports published every two years after Information estimated population, successes assessments have been carried out.
