"This book is an up-to-date review of the status of endangered Australian birds ... each chapter (species account) is the product of multiple authors; in all this has involved more than 300 experts. In a sense this Action Plan is like a dictionary. It is very unlikely to be read from cover to cover but will be an absolute essential reference to dip into for details. It will provide critical answers to the main issues that define the present status of endangered Australian Birds."

Peter Fullagar, Canberra Bird Notes

"The 2020 Action Plan is a thought-provoking document that is well worth reading by everyone with a serious interest in bird conservation. It will undoubtedly be a very important reference for conservation agencies in directing land management initiatives and should inspire specific research directions for those agencies, other institutions and private individuals for at least the next decade"
