Australia’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy 2010–2030 (referred to as ‘the Strategy’) is a guiding framework for conserving our nation’s biodiversity over the coming decades. The vision of this Strategy is that Australia’s biodiversity is healthy and resilient to threats, and valued both in its own right and for its essential contribution to our existence. Biodiversity, or biological diversity, is the variety of all life forms. There are three levels of biodiversity:| genetic diversity—the variety of genetic information contained in individual plants, animals and micro-organisms| species diversity—the variety of species| ecosystem diversity—the variety of habitats, ecological communities and ecological processes. Biodiversity occurs in all environments on Earth—terrestrial, aquatic and marine.
