Comments Invited - Biodiversity Conservation Strategy

The draft strategy is an important national policy document that will guide how governments, the community, industry and scientists manage and protect Australia’s plants, animals and ecosystems over the next ten years.

The consultation draft of Australia’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy has been developed collaboratively by all State and Territory governments and the Australian Government, with advice from the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology.

The consultation draft has been developed to replace the National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity, which was agreed in 1996.

For more information and a copy of the draft please go to the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.
