Camera-trap review for EPBC referrals

A referral under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act asks whether a proposed action is likely to have a significant impact on a matter of national environmental significance. Where camera traps supply the evidence for a listed species, the question a reader will ask is not "what did the software say?" but "who decided this record, on what image, and can I check it?"

What a referral needs from camera-trap evidence

• Reviewed records, not suggestions. A species record represented as verified must carry a named, qualified person's decision.
• Provenance. Each record traceable to the original image, the deployment it came from, and the capture time.
• Who decided, and when. Reviewer identity and decision time on every record, with software-only suggestions kept visibly separate.
• Survey effort. Trap-nights per deployment, so a detection count can be read against the effort that produced it.
• Export formats a reviewer can open. Camtrap DP for camera-trap tooling, Darwin Core occurrences for registers, plus a reviewed-detections CSV and PDF summaries.

How MyElysium fits

Every observation MyElysium exports names how it was determined and, where a person decided it, who that person was. Records confirmed by the project's named ecologist are released as human-verified; model-only records stay marked as unverified triage. The Camtrap DP package, the Darwin Core occurrence file and the reviewed-detections CSV are designed to be attached to a referral's supporting material alongside the survey report your ecologist writes.

MyElysium provides evidence-management support only. It does not grant, and does not claim, regulatory acceptance. The client and its qualified adviser decide whether the evidence is fit for a submission.
