Species Profiles (SPRAT)

Species Profile and Threats Database

The database is designed to provide information about species and ecological communities listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

It provides information on what the species looks like, its population and distribution, habitat, movements, feeding, reproduction and taxonomic comments. The information has been compiled by summarising information from a range of sources and contributors. At this stage profiles are not available for all species and ecological communities, but will be regularly added to the database.

If you have relevant information to add to the database or believe information is incorrect or out-of-date please send us an email.
