Australia’s Strategy for Nature 2019-2030 - Australia’s national biodiversity strategy and action plan.

Australia’s Strategy for Nature 2019-2030 sets a national framework for government, non-government and community action to strengthen Australia’s response to biodiversity decline and care for nature Australia’s many environments. Australia’s Strategy for Nature is the result of extensive collaboration between the Australian Government, all state and territory governments, and the Australian Local Government Association. It draws on the findings of the 2016 review of Australia’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy 2010–2030 and moves away from a purely protection-based approach and strives to incorporate adaptation, resilience and natural resource management Australian cities, rural and natural environments, on land and at sea.
The strategy has three priority focus areas, or goals, underpinned by twelve objectives. The goals work together in continuous loops designed to reinforce each other. Each objective has a number of progress measures, which will be used to track and report on the success of the strategy. The three goals are: 1) connect all people with nature; 2) connect for nature in all its diversity; 3) share and build knowledge.
The document, under objective 8 (Use and develop natural resources in an ecologically sustainable way) promotes increased agricultural production in an environmentally sustainable way. Ecologically sustainable use and management of natural resources can be achieved through valuing impacts and dependencies, strategic planning and, if necessary, trade-offs between use and protection.
Governments have a pivotal role to play in delivering the strategy by providing leadership, setting direction, considering emerging information and by evaluating, reporting on and communicating biodiversity-related initiatives. The government institutions responsible for the implementation of the strategy are: Environment Ministers, Government Senior Officials, Biodiversity Working Group.
