Over 100 world leaders, including @ScottMorrisonMP commit to end #deforestation & land degradation by 2030 at #COP26
Australia must strengthen land clearing laws, end native forest logging, and restore degraded ecosystems

This week 200 countries are meeting at the @UNBiodiversity #COP15. What does this mean for Australia? Great summary by @martine_maron
While Australia is one of the most biologically diverse countries on the earth, it has one of the highest losses of species.
There are concerns that Australia could have more at stake than other countries if we fail to act.

This program offers great potential for improving the health of Australia's ecosystems. Our research shows it should be expanded to other NRM regions theconversation.com/australi…
We’re trialling ways to pay farmers for enhancing remnant native vegetation. #Farmers in eligible NRM regions can be rewarded for improving native vegetation on their farms. To apply for our Enhancing Remnant Vegetation #ERV Pilot 👨🌾, visit: fal.cn/3izGB
#ERV #Ag2030
Australia can restore 30% of native vegetation cover across almost all degraded ecosystems on Australia’s marginal farming land - helping us become a net-zero nation and creating jobs in regional communities

Researchers propose a AU$41 billion plan to restore Australia's terrestrial habitats that will pay for itself through carbon sequestration revenue.

New paper: The costs and benefits of restoring a continent's terrestrial ecosystems. @BonMappin et al. show that expected costs to restore Australia’s ecosystems to reach 30% vegetation coverage can be paid for by the expected #carbon revenue @HugePossum

Absolutely wonderful news out of WA today, with the @MarkMcGowanMP govt announcing an end to logging of WA’s native forests. Huge effort over decades by Traditional Owners, @waforests @ConservationWA Huge love and thanks to everyone who made this happen♥️🌿

Zero, nought, none: that's the target for extinctions on NSW national parks as we ramp up protections for 221 sites covering species like the koala and brush tailed rock wallaby, naming them Assets of Intergenerational Significance #threatenedspeciesday ow.ly/Pp4p50G5aqC

Assisted natural regeneration is a cost-effective, nature-based solution for restoring millions of hectares of land.
But when is it the right technique to use? This chart can help you decide!
