habitats currently in good biodiversity condition is maintained in
their current state and 50% of all habitats in a poor biodiversity
condition is improved to good biodiversity condition by 2015,

land is voluntarily managed for nature conservation purposes by
2015.
|
|
Remnant vegetation remains at 100% of current extent with

Far North
Queensland
|
|
Increase in the area, condition and integrity (i.e. net
gain) of areas of ‘regional biodiversity significance’
by 2014
No
net loss of the area of native vegetation across the region by
2008
|
The majority of areas mapped as regional management
priorities managed for conservation purposes by 2014. Action:
Support directed research in the Upper Herbert Catchment to fill
data gaps; and; Increase community awareness of biodiversity values
of vegetation outside of nature reserves, and how they are affected
by land use practices.
|
|
Increased capacity of regional communities to manage for
biodiversity conservation outcomes by
2009.
