Implementing Australia’s Strategy for Nature 2024 – 2030
In October, NELA’s Biodiveristy Working Group and Publication and Submissions Portfolio made a submission to the NBSAP Taskforce, Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
Biodiversity in Australia is in a state of continued decline. Strong federal leadership is needed to address this issue, which can be demonstrated in two key ways:
- Adequate federal funding and support;
- Legal authority to act which necessitates federal environmental laws on the matters that Australia’s Strategy for Nature covers.
NELA’s submission considers how the Australian government can achieve public investment in conservation, supported by strong legal frameworks as part of its implementation plan for Australia’s Strategy for Nature. You can read the full submission here.
NELA thanks the following Board Directors and Biodiversity Working Group members for their contributions to this submission: Professor Justine Bell-James, Sarah Brugler, Dr Paul Govind, Dr Phillipa McCormack, Faith Roche, Pip Abbott and Emma Garlett.
