Current policies

• 1. Integrate the protection of biodiversity and ecosystem processes into urban development and planning policies and processes.

• 2. Increase the integrity and viability of areas of biological significance by effectively managing land use impacts.

• 3. Increase the viability of areas of biological significance by identifying and protecting them and creating linkages between them.

EDUCATIONBiodiversity protection is not only the responsibility of the government ,the

planner .It is the responsibility of everyone of us.

• Advertisement: attract the community’s attention

• Learning at school• For children: Let the children have the course of biodiversity, making them

understand “what biodiversity is and how important it is.”Precedent: National Threatened Species Day Poster-held by

Environment Australia September 7, 2004

EDUCATION• For Uni Hold some research programs about biodiversity in different

school.Precedent: Biocity sudio in the School of Architecture,

Landscape Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Adelaide.

EDUCATION• Learning by doing-Provide an opportunity for

community participation in biodiversity conservation and can also be an avenue for social interaction.

For children: Hold some camps for biodiversity education . Make the

children learn biodiversity by the interaction with the wild life.

EDUCATION• For community: Native trees planting program for helping recover the habitat

loss: Ask the community to involve such conservation project to make them

have a deeper understanding of the biodiversity, the causes of biodiversity crisis and the environmental issues that may carry to other aspects of life.

Precedent: The Canopy program -run by the Australian Carbon Biosequestration Initiative Ltd (ACBI).

EDUCATION• It is a program to suggest people to go “carbon neutral” or “offset” their

greenhouse gas emissions. To offset generally means to pay someone else to compensate for the greenhouse gas emission you cause.

• Planting trees is one way to offset emission. More over, they encourage people to offset their emission by buying

the carbon credit.

Think of it this way. Planting a seed is a start. Growing a tree is a small step. One forest is a beginning and with a Canopy of forests we can begin to

change the world.

EDUCATION• Learning by playing-develop the ecology

tourism Nature tourism attracts tourists with an interest in temporarily living in, and

coming to better understand a specific, novel, relatively natural ecosystem. Its primary focus is on experiencing natural areas that fosters environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation.
