Environment Australia

Environment Australia was a division of the Australian government responsible for environmental policy, regulation, and conservation efforts. Established in the late 1990s, it aimed to protect Australia's unique ecosystems and biodiversity through legislation and initiatives related to pollution control, wildlife protection, and sustainable practices. In 2007, it was integrated into the Department of the Environment, which continues to oversee environmental matters in Australia. The agency played a crucial role in addressing issues like climate change, land degradation, and water management, helping to promote a more sustainable future for the country's natural resources and environments.
