Habitat:
The species is usually associated with tall open forest dominated by big trees suitable for nesting and roosting (Bruce and Marks 2020).
Range:
The species is endemic to Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea: T. n. castanops in Tasmania, T. n. galei in far north Queensland, T. n. kimberli in Kimberley and the Northern Territory, T. n. melvillensis in the Tiwi Islands, T. n. novaehollandiae in southern mainland Australia, and five extralimital subspecies on islands north of Australia.
Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
T. n. castanops and T. n. melvillensis are nationally listed as Endangered (Cisterne et al. 2021, Ryan et al. 2021), T. n. kimberli as Vulnerable (Barden et al. 2021) and T. n. galei as Near Threatened (Jackett and Garnett 2021). Parts of range are within protected areas.
Conservation Actions Proposed
Determine population size and trends of lesser known subspecies. Protect known nesting, roosting and priority foraging habitat from clearing (Cisterne et al. 2021). Landscape-scale control of cat populations (Barden et al. 2021, Jackett and Garnett 2021, Ryan et al. 2021).
