VNPA and 30 x 30
Our submission
Australia leads the world in mammal extinctions, with one-in-five Australian mammals threatened and declining. An astounding 19 of our ecosystems show signs of collapse but don’t panic just yet – there is hope amongst the doom and gloom. The Federal Government is embarking on an ambitious protection plan. But the rubber won’t hit the road without decent funding.
The Australian Government has committed to a national target to protect and conserve 30 per cent of land and 30 per cent of marine areas by 2030 (referred to as the ‘30 by 30 target’).
All state and territory environment ministers have agreed to work together to achieve this ambitious goal.
