Conservation vision
To work with private and public land managers, agencies, communities, governments, land owners and farmers to conserve and reconnect ecosystems and habitats. This will allow species movement between the Grampians and Little Desert National Parks, Glenelg River and across to the internationally significant wetland, Bool Lagoon in South Australia.
Conservation Action Planning
‘Conservation Action Planning’ (CAP) is a participatory process being used to inform conservation actions and the development of projects in zone 2. The use of the CAP planning process allows for integration of scientific and local knowledge.
The major steps in the process are:
· the identification of conservation assets and nested assets (i.e. ecosystems, communities and species);
· an analysis of the viability (i.e. health) of the conservation assets and the key threats;
· the development of measurable objectives to achieve the long-term conservation of the assets;
· the development of conservation strategies and action steps to achieve the conservation objectives;
· the identification of practical monitoring indicators to support a robust monitoring, evaluation and adaptive management framework.
