| Concern for the decline of the malleefowl Leipoa ocellata Gould, 1840, in the Gnowangerup Shire, Western Australia, lead to the formation, in August 1992, of the Malleefowl Preservation Group Inc. (MPG) which currently supports a membership in excess of 1500 individuals (January 1998). The group’s activities are carried out on a volunteer basis addressing projects such as annual field surveys and monitoring, community awareness, school education, feral animal eradication programs, reestablishment of native vegetation on farms and wildlife corridors. |

| Megapodes: an action plan for their conservation 1995 - 1999, a collaborative effort of members of the Megapode Specialist Group and the World Pheasant Association, was published in 1995. It summarizes the conservation status of all megapode taxa and indicates the needs of those species under threat. The Action Plan was intended to be a stimulus for conservation orientated studies and to generate funds more easily. An overview is given of studies (1990 - present) in which these threatened taxa were involved. The status of these and other taxa are reassessed according to the finalized IUCN threat categories (which supercede the Mace-Lande threat categories originally used in the Action Plan) as a preparation for the megapode action plan 2000 - 2004. |
