Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) CITES is an international agreement between governments that aims to ensure that international trade in wild animals and plants and their products does not threaten their survival. Convention on Migratory Species CMS (or the Bonn Convention) aims to conserve terrestrial, marine and avian migratory species throughout their range Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds - AEWA The agreement covers 172 species of birds ecologically dependent on wetlands for at least part of their annual cycle, including many species of pelicans, storks, flamingos, swans, geese, ducks, waders, gulls and terns.

National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity Australia's Biodiversity Clearing House Mechanism The Clearing-House Mechanism of the Convention on Biological Diversity promotes scientific and technical cooperation at all levels among Parties to the Convention. As well, it facilitates access to and exchange of information on biodiversity around the world. At the national level, the CHM serves the information needs of those organisations involved in implementing the provisions of the Convention and the National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity. Biodiversity Information Manager The Department of the Environment and Heritage has developed the Clearing House Information Manager to promote the exchange of information on the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity ( CBD ) and the National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity. The objective of the Clearing-House Information Manager is to raise awareness and understanding of both the Convention and the Strategy while also facilitating access to a range of related information.

Introduction A Brush-tailed Bettong (Bettongia penicillata) (Photo: Peter Canty NPWSA Conserving our biodiversity is extremely important, not only in terms of its intrinsic values but because many of our economic activities are based on healthy and functioning natural systems. Any use of natural resources must be sustainable and the conservation and management of biodiversity is essential for the maintenance of natural systems. Seed collection for endangered habitat species in remnant roadside vegetation (Photo: Simon Lewis NPWSA Protecting remnant native vegetation from grazing impacts In addition to the actions required to protect ecological communities directly, ongoing management and rehabilitation of habitats is often necessary if further loss of biodiversity is to be avoided. You can find out more about some of the management programs being undertaken in South Australia to conserve and restore ecosystems both on and off reserves. Such programs include the removal of threats, such as environmental weeds or grazing by domestic stock and feral animals, the eradication of introduced predators such as foxes and cats and, in some instances, the re-introduction of threatened species and the restoration of habitat through revegetation programs. Such management programs are crucial if we are to retain healthy and functioning ecosystems in the longer term.

The number of species of plants, animals, micro organisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. Almost all cultures have in some way or form recognized the importance that nature, and its biological diversity has had upon them and the need to maintain it. Yet, power, greed and politics have affected the precarious balance. Who Cares?

Community Biodiversity Network Media Release Environment laws need realistic assessment of risks and opportunities Date: 03 August 1999 Environment laws need realistic assessment of risks and opportunities John Connor, ACF National Campaigns Director The Australian Conservation Foundation appreciates the opportunity for a brief response to the above article and looks forward to a more detailed contribution in the next article. We recognise that there are many positive improvements to the draft legislation ranging from greater transparency to strengthening of threatened species provisions. Our concern is, however, that most of the positive amendments to the EPBC Bill will be lost by enabling the hand over of responsibilities to the states. Our concerns are shared by leading environmental lawyers and practitioners including the Director of the Australian Centre for Environmental Law, Associate Professor Rob Fowler. The government legal advice referred to above does not address the real point that it will be virtually impossible to legally prevent abuse of the system. Lack of political will is always a problem for environmental campaigners but this new legislation has formalised a process for handing on environmental responsibilities. This did not exist in the old system.
