Healthy Ecosystems and the role of covenants
WWF-Australia has been delivering the terrestrial component of the Avon Catchment Council’s Healthy Ecosystems project in the Avon River Basin since 2005, having been largely modelled on WWF’s earlier Avon-based Woodland Watch project. The project is aimed at engaging landowners and land managers with remaining areas of priority ecosystems on their properties which include eucalypt woodlands, to implement long-term conservation measures such as Voluntary Management Agreements (VMAs) and voluntary Conservation Covenants.
