I hate it when I double post.
(Niveoscincus palfreymani) is listed as endangered under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 and vulnerable under the Federal Act.
Why is it a threatened species? This skink lives in only one place in the world, a tiny islet or rocky outcrop known as Pedra Branca Islet which is 26 km off the south-east coast of Tasmania. Being so restricted in distribution and so isolated makes this skink very susceptible to any disturbances.
