Lists the nomenclature, statuses and endemicity of current taxa within the WildNet database including flora, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and selected fish and invertebrate groups. The names of the flora (e.g. plants, fungi, chromists etc.) are automatically updated from the Queensland Herbarium's specimen database (Herbrecs) weekly (native and naturalised Queensland species only).

This dataset is updated weekly from the WildNet database (Saturdays) and the associated report (link below) is scheduled to update twice daily.

Below is a listing of the field definitions.

The Conservation status of Queensland wildlife report can be accessed to visualise the data.
