This context above can be interpreted in numerous or limited ways.
The biggest threat to native vegetation is ignorance of its value and an on-going culture of exploitation.
It is destroyed by farming, road widening/clearing, vehicle use in bushland, logging, erosion, compaction, acidification, spread of environmental weeds, destructive industries, feral animals, water loss, rising temperatures, incorrect burning off, exploitation for gravel, firewood etc etc.
Will all of these issues be addressed?

Checkbox: Ticked There are elements to be addressed (use text box below)
Please provides details on missing elements in the text box below.
Acknowledging 'the established management approaches' is unsatisfactory as many current management approaches are totally inadequate and need to be greatly improved. For example, prescribed burning practices are often severely destructive and need to be reviewed.

Roadmap

10. Which roadmap actions are most important?

Please provide your answer in the text box below.
This 'Native Vegetation Policy' has little or nothing to do with native vegetation! It is all about roadmaps, strategies, goals, contexts, principles........ it sounds like political speak for arrangements of power. How about removing the politicians from the equation and consulting PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT NATIVE VEGETATION.
