Undertaking biological surveys to gain greater knowledge about the biodiversity of Western Australia.

Biological surveys help us to understand the environmental, ecological and biogeographic processes affecting the environment. They provide the scientific basis for many of our decisions on conservation management.

Surveys collect data on the distribution, ecological relationships and conservation status of Western Australian plant and animal species and the conservation significance of the lands and waters we managed.

They are conducted across a wide range of regions, and inform on patterns of biodiversity at local, regional and State-wide scales.

Acknowledgement of Country

The Government of Western Australia acknowledges the traditional owners throughout Western Australia and their continuing connection to the land, waters and community. We pay our respects to all members of the Aboriginal communities and their cultures; and to Elders both past and present.
