ALCA’s supplementary submission provides additional guidance on embedding conservation into the proposed Policy Framework for diversification leases in Western Australia.
Despite the direct and majority contribution of our natural environment to Australia’s social, economic and cultural prosperity, protecting, managing and restoring our deteriorating environment continues to be structurally underfunded.
Our submission reiterates the importance of protecting existing and future investments in the Western Australian conservation estate, as well as providing both certainty and clear pathways for conservation land use to drive investment in conservation.
ALCA’s briefing note summarises the key issues and opportunities for collective action to protect, restore and manage our shared environment.
Environmental health and resilience at the landscape-scale is indivisible to the long-term sustainability, viability, and resilience of agriculture. As such, our environment and its unique biodiversity values should be recognised as an essential and direct beneficiary within Australia’s national drought policies and plans.
We welcome the expanded list of objectives and targets in the 2022-2032 Threatened Species Action Plan released today by the Minister for the Environment and Water.
Our submission outlines key recommendations on the themes of transparency, integrity, maximising co-benefits, flexibility, and (overcoming) market barriers.
ALCA submission welcomes a national biodiversity market that delivers high-quality, high-integrity, and positive outcomes for the environment, and outlines 12 principles for its design.
Since ALCA’s first submission to the Inquiry in September 2018, the overall trajectory of decline for Australia’s nature and has continued. Two key issues – securing a high ambition in forthcoming Convention on Biological Diversity negotiations, and delivering on Australia’s ’30 by 30′ commitments – are now even more critical than ever.
The Federal Government’s inaugural ‘wellbeing budget’ is a key opportunity to recognise and integrate the importance of protecting, restoring, and managing our environment to safeguard and improve Australia’s food security, health, and economic outcomes.
ALCA supports the introduction of a right to a healthy environment as an important pathway for recognising the inextricable importance of protecting and restoring biodiversity and ecosystems to our collective wellbeing.
