26 September 2024 | The Minister for Housing and Planning has tabled the 2024 State of the Environment Report in both Houses of Parliament this month. Within this extensive report, Landcare Tasmania contributed a case study entitled: Empowering community action to support biodiversity (p. 156-158).
The study outlined how community-led ecological restoration and regenerative land management has mutual benefits for society and the environment.
Highlighting the work of the Seymour Community Action Group and the Meander Valley Production Zone Project, the case study demonstrated how grassroots approaches empower communities to tackle problems and find solutions together.
"While the report itself paints a concerning picture on the deteriorating health of Tasmania's environment, this case study is a cause for hope, and is a significant reminder that our work matters to maintaining healthy landscapes and biodiversity," said Landcare Tasmania CEO Peter Stronach.
"It outlines the many issues facing our environment and will hopefully act as a mechanism for change."
