The biodiversity in Australia – part b
To solve the threat stated before, Australia divides the responsibility
into three sectors- the government, business and the community. This means that
every one needs to work by themselves to achieve this. The government do this
by few directions, it includes engaging all Australians in biodiversity through
mainstreaming biodiversity, increasing indigenous engagement and enhancing
strategic investments and partnerships; building ecosystem resilience in a
changing climate by protecting diversity, maintain and re-establishing
ecosystem functions and reducing threats to biodiversity.
Each implementation of each action provides clear details of what has to
be done and what value is required to achieve. Taking vegetation as an example,
according to the Australia’s native vegetation framework, it outlines the
importance of conserving vegetation in Australia, the role of public and
government, and the reference for legislation related to native vegetation management
on Australian continent. For individual, it encourages us to learn more about
native vegetation and its importance; participating in or supporting training
and education to maximise the knowledge and understanding of good native vegetation
management. So, it basically setting out the direction for the government and
us to get an idea of what we can do and what we should do by providing current
condition, threats and goals of vegetation conservation.
In fact, other than salmon sashimi, a proper biodiversity benefits our
world in every aspects from breathing to cultural qualities. It provides food,
fibre, fuel and fresh water; it provides cultural services such as spiritual,
recreational and aesthetic values; and it even helps us to regulate pollution
and climate. Therefore, there is really a need for the public to understand the
current situation and start to do
something in a daily basis in order to make our city to be a sustainable city.
