Not Achieved Management effectiveness The METT score has consistently improved tracking tool (METT) score for over the life of the project, indicating ALNP improves from baseline of significant improvements in the management 15 to at least 75 by the of the Park. Over the life of the project, project’s end. management effectiveness as measured by the METT score was 15, 25, 34, 53 and 55, rising to 64 at the end of the project. The target score of 75 could not be achieved due to limited progress in establishing effective field-level management staff and infrastructure due to – – limits in the Government budget and general difficulties in establishing additional Government service posts. Partially Achieved Stability or increase in the Bird surveys were undertaken in 2008 and population of key endemic and 2012 and showed that the population of key globally threatened key species endemic and globally threatened bird species within ALNP were mostly stable or increasing, with the exception of the Wallace’s Standardwing (Semioptera The populations of wallacii). White Cockatoo (Cacatua had already alba) diminished by 80% from 1999 to 2008. The illegal trade in other protected species from the Park remains a significant continuing threat, with bird trapping issues the most frequently addressed by the ALNP management unit in 2011/2012. The specific outcomes for each of the components of the project were as follows:
