Draft National Wildlife Corridors Plan - Open for comment
Primary tabs
The Australian Government has released the Draft National Wildlife Corridors Plan for public comment. The draft Plan lays the foundation for a new, collaborative, whole-of-landscape approach to biodiversity conservation that is based on voluntary cooperation and the existing efforts of communities, landholders, governments and industry.
The Plan can be viewed here, and comments submitted here. Further information on the Plan, including some background to its development by the National Wildlife Corridors Plan Advisory Group, is available here.
The Plan sets out a policy direction for connectivity in the landscape, with corridors as one way of doing that. A number of existing large scale corridors projects are identified, as well as some proposed corridors and a process for community initiation of future corridors.
The closing date for public comment is Friday 20th April 2012.
