Nature conservation
Queensland has rich and diverse natural resources, including unique ecosystems, landscapes and native plants and animals. The Environmental Protection Agency – through the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service – works closely with communities to protect Queensland’s natural capital and foster sustainable use of natural resources.
A new estuarine crocodile conservation plan and management program is now in place. This plan builds on the achievements of the past Nature Conservation (Problem Crocodile) Conservation Plan 1995 and the supporting Management program for Crocodylus porosus in Queensland 1995–1997. While the goals of this plan mirror those of its predecessor, the strategies it employs reflect current management issues and are based on a better understanding of crocodile biology, behaviour and population dynamics.
Back on Track
The 'Back on Track species prioritisation framework is an initiative of the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that aims to prioritise Queensland’s native species to guide conservation and species recovery.
