The development of innovative ways to assess biodiversity and habitat condition allows us to build a greater understanding of the complex interactions between individual species and the environment in which they live. Utilising these methods provides us with the ability to undertake inventory and assessment, which is essential for the establishment of baseline biological data that will aid in the successful management of our environment.

We acknowledge and respect Victorian Traditional Owners as the original custodians of Victoria’s land and waters, their unique ability to care for Country and deep spiritual connection to it. We honour Elders past and present whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices.

We are committed to genuinely partner, and meaningfully engage, with Victoria’s Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities to support the protection of Country, the maintenance of spiritual and cultural practices and their broader aspirations in the 21st century and beyond.
