30% by 2030 – Expanding the protected area network!
The natural world is under siege from resource exploitation, unsustainable agricultural practices and reckless over-development. We are now in an extinction crisis which is worsening under the climate crisis. We need to do more to protect remaining natural areas and increase the amount of land that is protected in NSW.
Australia has committed to reaching the High Ambition Coalition goal to conserve 30% of land and water by 2030. In NSW, less than 10% of the land area is currently included in the protected area network and we have the worst extinction rate in the Country. Here in NSW we need to step up our efforts and protect at least 30% of our state by 2030.
