Nature Conservation Strategy

Summary

The Nature Conservation Strategy 2013 to 2023 (the Strategy) helps to guide the management of nature in the ACT.

The Strategy sets out a Vision and three desired Outcomes for nature conservation in the ACT:

2. Landscapes are more resilient, including to climate change.
3. Community health and wellbeing is increased through use and appreciation of natural areas and ‘green assets’ in urban areas.

Key priority areas include:

• Helping our environment adapt to climate change.
