How accountable are National parks when it comes to Biodiversity and Landscape repair?
I can only provide a general response to this, and it might be better to approach
National Parks directly about the specifics of the Nature repair market or Biodiversity
outcomes monitoring. I know they do operate under a monitoring program that is at
a number of scales and determined by the activities involved. At a high level scale
they report to the Minister and Parliament on whether they are achieving the
objectives of the legalisation and the funding provided. Often at an individual
program scale (such as feral animal control or a project for a particular area or
species etc.), they are required to have monitoring in place for the specific outcomes
they are trying to achieve. This is used to report on the effectiveness of the project
and improve the delivery for next time.
This event was made possible thanks to the shared work of the NSW Biodiversity Trust and Landcare NSW under the Private Land Conservation Matters project.
