What we’d like to see.
- Vegetation maps made across all of Australia of both present existing vegetation and past vegetation communities (pre-colonisation).
- Data banks created that provide evidence of past vegetation communities in areas that have been altered since colonisation. This data can be in the form of photographs, oral histories, etc.
- Nurseries, forestry nurseries, farmers, landscape gardeners, surburban home owners within all regions growing plant species from original vegetation communities within their areas.
- Seedlings of understory and dominant tree species of the specific local vegetation communities raised and then distributed and planted across the country.
- Trail maps made in conjunction with the land reserves that are created to provide access through these already existing and newly created ecosystems.
- Mandate for a high proportion of land (25-75%) to be re-vegetated.
- Large scale protective actions on land such as creeks fenced from livestock, sites with young growth, saplings fenced from livestock.
- Existing structurally strong ecosystems increase in size and spread outwards via plantings.
