  • News from the Serious Recognition of the Australian Alps’ Worth Is Coming in Thick and Fast
    #37 2008 news from the Serious recognition of the Australian Alps’ worth is coming in thick and fast. Most of us who live and work in and around the Alps have appreci- ated this landscape’s priceless value for many years, but 2008 will be remembered as the year that this iconic Australian landscape was given not just one, but two significant pats on the back. And in the big picture, these two ‘pats’ are more like two good whacks because they both carry serious clout. ALPS GETS NATIONAL HERITAGE LISTING The first came in June when the Alps region was declared one of Australia’s iconic destinations under the banner of the National Landscapes conservation/tourism initiative. The Australian Alps joins other iconic landscapes such as Kakadu and the Red Centre as a destination to appeal to international experience seekers. And being part of the initiative has brought with it all the resources on offer – especially support for the Alps as it works to develop its own strategic tourism plan as part of the initiative. And then came the second lot of big news. In early November the Federal Minister for the Environ- ment, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett, announced National Heritage Listing* for the Australian Alps National Parks, an area of over 1.6 million hectares spanning Victoria, NSW and the ACT. Said Peter Garrett, “the listing of the Australian Alps National Parks recognises the outstanding natural, Indigenous and historic values of this iconic landscape.” Peter Jacobs, Convenor of the Australian Alps Liaison Committee explains. “The National Heritage Listing gives the Alps national significance.

  • The Persistence of Common Wombats in Road Impacted Environments
    The persistence of common wombats in road impacted environments Erin Roger PhD thesis School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences University of New South Wales August 2009 “We treat the attrition of [wildlife] lives on the road like the attrition of lives in war: horrifying, unavoidable, justified.” Barry Lopez, Apologia PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Roger First name: Erin Other name/s: Katherine Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Biological Earth & Environmental Faculty: Science Sciences Title: The persistence of common wombats in road impacted environments Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) There is growing global concern over the influence of road development on the conservation of biodiversity and on the functioning of ecosystems. Published reviews in the field of road ecology have identified that most research has examined the effects of roads linearly and have advocated for research at landscape scales. Among the many effects roads have, one of the most significant is the loss of animal life resulting from collisions with vehicles. Despite this, little is known of what toll this has on animal populations and how these impacts vary with scale. This stems from the perception that impacts are localised and that animals killed are typically considered common, and therefore not of great conservation concern. This thesis challenges this notion by showing that the impacts of fatalities can affect populations at landscape extents and that commonness is not a barrier to localised extinction risk. To achieve this I focus on the common wombat; an example of a common species for which road impacts have never been previously examined.

  • Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategydownload
    Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008–2013 Acknowledgment The Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008 - 2013 recognises that the Park is within landscape that gives identity to Aboriginal people, who have traditional and historical connections to this land. Aboriginal people are recognised and respected as the original custodians of the lands, waters, animals and plants now within the Park. Their living and spiritual connections with the land through traditional laws, customs and beliefs passed on from their ancestors are also recognised. NPWS will continue to be committed to actively engage traditional custodians and relevant Aboriginal organisations, in protecting managing and interpreting the needs of Kosciuszko National Park. The landscapes of Kosciuszko National Park are the sum total of the interactions between the basic natural elements of water, air, rocks, soils, fire, plants and animals. Each of these living and non-living attributes have been altered by thousands of years of human habitation and use which have left behind layers of human artefacts, memories, stories and meanings. The management of these attributes, and the values bestowed upon them, is a complex task and will not always be based upon a complete understanding of the implications of individual management decisions. A precautionary and adaptive approach to management is required - one that appreciates the interconnective and inseparable nature of the elements of the landscape. (NPWS, 2006c pg 37) Kosciusko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008 - 2013 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This Fire Management Strategy was prepared by Jamie Molloy with the assistance of staff from the Snowy Mountains and South West Slopes Regions of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, staff from the Threatened Species Unit, the Reserve Conservation Planning & Performance Unit, and the Public Affairs Division of the Department of Environment and Climate Change.
