Conservation Council SA recommends that the Strategy has stronger alignment with Australia's commitments to the Global Biodiversity Framework under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, including the collective commitment by all Australian governments to Australia's '30 by 30' on land commitment (protecting 30% of Australia's lands by 2030).
Additionally, there are opportunities to elevate the CAR principles ('comprehensive, adequate, representative') further in the Strategy, and the description of OECMs (Other area-based Effective Conservation Measures) needs to be tightened to accurately align with Australia's National OECMs Framework.
