Rangelands policies and strategies
The ACRIS report, Rangelands 2008-Taking the Pulse, has highlighted national issues that could underpin further national policy development. At present, national policy is guided by the "National Principles and Guidelines for Rangeland Management" and other relevant national strategies.
National Principles and Guidelines for Rangelands Management
The National Principles and Guidelines, published in 1999, established a framework for those with interests in the rangelands to develop strategies and actions to manage change and ensure a viable legacy for future generations.
The National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity
The National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity directly stems from Australia's obligations under Article 6 of the Convention on Biological Diversity, and provides the framework for protecting Australia's biodiversity. The Strategy is currently being reviewed.
The Australian Weeds Strategy (revised 2007)
The Australian Weeds Strategy is a vital part of Australia's integrated approach to national biosecurity, and complements other existing and new national strategies for invasive species, such as those for terrestrial vertebrate pests and marine pests. Its aim is to minimise the impact of weeds on Australia's environmental, economic and social assets.
National Framework for the Management and Monitoring of Australia's Native Vegetation (1999)
The National Framework for the Management and Monitoring of Australia's Native Vegetation, an initiative of the former Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC), provides a vehicle through which to implement the goal of reversing the decline in the quality and extent of Australia's native vegetation cover, against an agreed framework of best practice management and monitoring measures.
