The department’s Biodiversity Conservation Framework outlines the overarching strategies the department undertakes to conserve biodiversity, and the various ways that these are achieved, providing a high-level overview of the broad range of activities, plans, systems and initiatives that contribute to delivering the department’s biodiversity conservation function.

The framework will be updated periodically; please note the version information on the front page and/or visit this webpage to access the latest version.

The department’s Biodiversity Conservation Framework is organised around seven overarching strategies that guide the biodiversity conservation activities implemented by the department. These strategies and activities are guided by the department’s strategic directions or plans and contribute to State, national and international biodiversity conservation legislative and policy requirements and commitments. A system of monitoring, evaluation and reporting tracks progress towards achieving desired outcomes and informs an adaptive management approach.
