Protecting Victoria’s Environment – Biodiversity 2037 aims to encourage more Victorians to value and protect nature and help them to connect with and enjoy their natural environment.
It will also help drive action from local businesses, government and people to help to stop the decline of our biodiversity through investment, improved decision making and planning, and through volunteer action.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the draft plan last year and everyone who played a part in creating the final Biodiversity Plan. We encourage you to share it with your networks.
