• ALT1: ... that the Australia’s most threatened butterfly is confined to a native range of under 10 square kilometres (3.9 sq mi)? Source: Page 135 "However, Sands and Braby (2018) recommended that the taxon be listed nationally as Critically Endangered according to IUCN Red List Criteria because the area of occupancy (AOO) is estimated to be less than 10 km2, the geographic range is severely fragmented, and the AOO, and extent and/or quality of its habitat continues to decline." Page 141 "Hypochrysops piceatus is regarded as Australia’s most threatened butterfly (Geyle et al. 2021) and it represents a local iconic threatened species for the Leyburn community, a village where members of the Leyburn Progress Association and Landcare are anxious to enhance historic values and ecotourism (Sands & Braby 2018)."
