Review of the National Biodiversity Strategy
Public submissions on the draft Australia's Biodiversity Conservation Strategy 2010-2020 have now closed.
Background
The Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council , on behalf of the Commonwealth and all state and territory governments, invited public comments on the draft Australia's Biodiversity Conservation Strategy 2010-2020.
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.
