A discussion on biodiversity monitoring in the ACT to develop understanding of and acceptance (ownership) of the ACT Biodiversity Research and Monitoring Program by the ACT environment community.

Environment Exchange – Biodiversity monitoring

Environment Exchange 28 May brings together academics, government officials and members groups to:

  • provide overview and discussion of ways forward for ACT biodiversity monitoring and research

  • enable scope for input into the ACT Biodiversity Research and Monitoring Program, and

  • outline the role of community groups in biodiversity monitoring and research

This event might be especially interesting to members of the Conservation Council we also invite others to attend.

We hope this event will develop understanding of and acceptance (ownership) of the ACT Biodiversity Research and Monitoring Program.
