Describes actions to be undertaken to achieve fully integrated biodiversity conservation throughout each bioregion in the State. It includes a vision to 2020 – ‘a history of the future’ A key aim of the 1997 Strategy was increasing levels of understanding of biodiversity. The Strategy sought primarily to influence others. The focus was on: a) concepts to understand biodiversity and what to do to conserve it b) processes that could be influenced. An evaluation of the 1997 Strategy was conducted by external consultants in 2007 to inform both the renewal of the Biodiversity Strategy and the preparation of the Land and Biodiversity at Time of Climate Change White Paper.
