The Biodiversity Conservation Investment Strategy 2018 sets the government's priorities for investing in private land conservation.
A set of short- and long-term targets (5 and 20 years respectively) has been developed to help measure progress in meeting the strategy's environmental and socioeconomic objectives.
The strategy guides the Biodiversity Conservation Trust to deliver the government's investment in private land conservation – $240 million over 5 years and ongoing funding of $70 million each following year, subject to performance reviews.
The strategy is a key component of the government's comprehensive new framework for private land conservation established under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and was published by the Minister for the Environment, on 2 March 2018, following consultation on a draft strategy.
