Biodiversity Targets

Vision: Biodiversity decline is halted, then sustainably managed to ensure resilient ecosystem functioning
14. Communities and habitat
Intermediate
Fire hazard management is improved so that it is more compatible with protection of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2015)

A strategy is in place to guide management and conservation of biodiversity threatened by climate change (2015)

Long-term
The integrity, condition and resilience of native terrestrial and aquatic communities and related habitats is as good or better than it was in 2008 (2030)
15. Endangered species and communities
Intermediate
Trajectories show that endangered species and communities are becoming less threatened (2015)
Long-term
The conservation listing status of endangered species and communities improves by 20% (2030)
16. Urban biodiversity
Intermediate
Provision for enhancing urban biodiversity values and functions is incorporated into development decisions, management plans and local neighbourhood actions (2015)
Long-term
Healthy and resilient urban biodiversity, at local and landscape scale (2030)

Canberra has established a strong international reputation as a ‘bush’ capital and is widely used as a best practice case study (2030)
