Identify and prioritise key riparian and wildlife corridor sites for protection and restoration.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Funding and resources for restoration work is limited. Prioritising locations for restoration, across all tenures, can make the most of these limited resources and ensure the best biodiversity outcomes. Biodiversity corridors allow animals and plant species to move through the landscape, which will become increasingly important to cope with the impacts of climate change.
EXAMPLES OF LOCAL ACTION
Use existing processes, like Walking the Landscape, to collaboratively identify important corridors.
Revegetate the north bank of the Barron River buffer and improve Streets Creek corridor.
Promote and increase native plantings along verges, headlands and other areas of lower productivity on agricultural land.
