Proceedings of the 2000 South-East Queensland Biodiversity Recovery Conference

The 2000 South-East Queensland Biodiversity Recovery Conference brought together almost 100 participants with the common objective of saving South-East Queensland’s declining biodiversity. Presentations covered the full spectrum of biodiversity conservation activities and issues in South-East Queensland, from regional-level planning to on-ground action on individual properties, and centred on the following themes:

• Setting the scene.
• Science and research - foundations for the right outcomes.
• Creating effective partnerships.
• Regional biodiversity planning.
• New local and regional approaches to recovery planning.
• Community biodiversity conservation - challenges, success stories and good ideas.
• Tools for securing successful outcomes.

Participants then took the presentation messages and, with the background of their own knowledge and experiences, answered the following questions in workshop groups:

• What is our vision for biodiversity in South-East Queensland in the year 2050?
• What are the barriers to achieving this vision?
• What actions are required to overcome these barriers?
