"In the mid 1990s, only 7% of Australia’s land was protected for conservation.
Now, it’s more than tripled to 22%.
But to reach our ambitious goal of boosting protection to 30% by 2030, we’ll
have to sharpen our focus and boost funding.
In December last year, Australia joined 195 other nations in signing on to the
Global Biodiversity Framework to tackle the world’s worsening biodiversity
crisis. Each nation agreed, in brief, to set a goal of “30x30” – protecting at
least 30% of land, freshwater and ocean ecosystems by 2030.
Our territorial waters already have 45% under varying forms of protection. But
land can be harder. The question now is – how do we get to 30%, which includes
land and freshwater ecosystems? In a new report, we show how we can do it."
