  1. “Towards an Analytical Framework for Assessing Regional NRM Investment Strategies” National biodiversity conservation objectives & regional investment Stewart Noble Vegetation Management Policy Environment Australia

  2. Accreditation of regional plans • Plans must be consistent with legislative requirements, agreed national outcomes, strategies and targets

  3. Some agreed strategies and approaches • Framework for the Extension of the NHT • Intergovernmental Agreement for a National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality • National Objectives and Targets for Biodiversity Conservation, 2001-2005. • National Framework for the Management and Monitoring of Australia’s Native Vegetation • National Approach to Firewood Collection and Use • National Weeds Strategy

  4. Some National Biodiversity Objectives • By 2005, incorporate the recovery of threatened species and ecological communities into regional plans • By 2005, all regional plans include actions to reduce the threat to biodiversity from naturalised non-native species • By 2005, incorporate into regional plans, the protection of threatened native grasslands and areas of high conservation significance which may be subject to grazing pressure • By 2001, have mechanisms in place at the regional level that prevent clearance of ecological communities with an extent below 10 per cent of that present pre-1750.

  5. Example management actions … • Protecting existing remnant vegetation • Improving the quality of native vegetation • Controlling weeds of national significance • Sustainable firewood collection • Sustainable grazing • Manage threatened species and communities • Implementing recovery plans • Reducing key threatening processes • Revegetation • Filling information gaps • Building capacity

  6. Effective investment • Greatest public benefit per $ of public funding • Prevention and protection • Best available information • Investment in interventions is complemented by investment in changes to management practices • Build community capacity
