Priority landscapes
Shaded areas on the map indicate our priority landscapes – areas we’ve identified as in need of increased protection to safeguard nationally significant ecosystems. They’ve been chosen for their conservation value, our capacity to help protect them, and the degree to which they’re already protected through Australia’s National Reserve System – a combined network of public and privately protected lands.
