Nature Conservation Act

The Nature Conservation Act is a law designed to protect and preserve Australia’s natural environment, including its native plants, animals, and ecosystems. It sets guidelines for managing protected areas, promotes sustainable use of resources, and aims to prevent harm to wildlife and their habitats. The Act establishes processes for conservation planning, environmental assessments, and enforcement of regulations to combat illegal activities like poaching and habitat destruction. Overall, it seeks to ensure that natural heritage is maintained for future generations while allowing for responsible development and land use.
