The striking pink Calandrinia mirabilis, previously listed as a Priority 1 protected species by Western Australia's Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, was downlisted to Priority 3 in 2025 after additional populations were documented at the observatory site through CSIRO's land management team's monitoring efforts.

“We've helped trace new populations of protected wildflowers, resulting in one already being reduced from a priority 1 to a priority 3 protected species last year.”
