Australian Network for Plant Conservation 8 th National Conference Welcome from the ANPC
Welcome to the 8th national conference of the Australian Network for Plant Conservation, on the theme of ‘Planning Conservation to Achieving Restoration’. This is the second ANPC Conference to be held in Perth. We are glad to be meeting again in Australia’s most biodiverse State, and one with a rich culture of conservation practice. I’d like to thank the conference sponsors who have made this event possible: the WA Department of Environment and Conservation ;
; the
(TRIN); and Alcoa . These organisations contribute to plant conservation on many fronts, and recognise the value of supporting closer linkage of people in science, management, community and industry – linkage which is part of ANPC’s unique role. 2011 will be the ANPC’s twentieth year of working to conserve Australia’s flora. The face of plant conservation in Australia has changed, although none of the challenges have yet been overcome. There are more organisations now, though few others are dedicated specifically to conserving flora. The funding scene has changed, but not necessarily improved. We have seen a welcome shift in investment to a more regional and perhaps a more strategic approach, although there is still an inadequate focus on biodiversity and an inadequate level of investment. We have seen the survival of the Landcare movement, with its unique blend of communication and action across sectoral divides. We have also seen the rise of non-government organisations dedicated to acquiring and rehabilitating land for biodiversity. A feature of the last 20 years has been acceptance by governments of the need for biodiversity conservation planning. Political commitment has waxed and waned, but there is a level of policy and planning greater than ever before. There are however many challenges in translating this into effective conservation practice, and governments are not always good at achieving that translation. Core problems include the short-term, non-strategic nature of funding cycles; a lack of commitment to sustaining and nurturing the community NGO sector at anything more than a subsistence level; and often an unwillingness to commit to the elimination of threatening processes, rather than just their management. These higher-level problems need to be addressed by the whole conservation sector. Our themes for this conference, however, are more focussed. As always, we are trying to bring together some of the best on-ground experience with the most relevant science and policy thinking. Some of our themes relate to areas where Western Australia has particularly rich experience – notably ‘Engaging Industry’ and ‘The Role of Taxonomy’, for which the minerals boom and the unique WA flora are the backdrop. The themes of ‘Seeds and Genes for Restoration’ and ‘Soil Health and Restoration’ complement ANPC’s past work through our technical publications and a national forum. And the overarching themes of ‘Conservation Planning’ and ‘Planning for Climate Change’ are areas where governments and industry need our ideas and some reality checks. Workshops topics include interactive plant identification tools (an under-used resource), and where ANPC should now take its pioneering work on standards for the translocation of threatened species. These and other workshops will be an opportunity for the exchange of experience, theory and practice. This is going to be a great conference, and I would like to convey the thanks of the ANPC membership to the conference organising committee: in WA, Dave Coates, Leonie Monks, Shelley McArthur, Melanie Smith, Helena Mills, Ben Miller, Katherine Downes, Grant Wardell-Johnson, and in our national office Merryl Bradley and Sue Mathams. Their hard work typifies the dedication which has sustained ANPC for the last two decades.
