This paper draws upon our decades of experience in effective community led action across large landscapes. It complements and builds upon the policy discussion paper of Mackey et al1 (2023) on the importance of connectivity conservation for protecting and restoring biodiversity and ecosystems in Australia, including as part of Australia’s response to climate change. Our aim is to promote discussion about where and how the Australian Government can be most effective in providing strategic support for additional initiatives that enhance the repair and restoration of the Australian environment, an endeavor that has gained extra importance following recent national commitments to global biodiversity framework goals. Our focus is on inclusive approaches that strengthen social fabric and community-based initiatives, particularly in rural areas. Successive State of the Environment Reports have documented continuous decline in the ecological health of Australia2. Yet few initiatives are demonstrating progress towards reversing that decline. Nevertheless, a range of government programs continue, the privately funded conservation sector has expanded rapidly, carbon offset programs have grown significantly, and Australia now has the prospect of significant private investment in the environment. |
