NRM NATURE CONSERVATION ICON

SEQ has one the richest diversities of animal and plant species in Australia, thanks to the vegetation communities

  • More than 4,000 plant and 800 vertebrate species are found in the region.
  • Hundreds of threatened and migratory species depend on the extent and connectivity of natural areas for their survival.
  • Vegetation cover and wetlands buffer the region from climate extremes such as heatwaves and storm surges, protect water quality, filter pollutants from the air and sequester carbon.
  • Forests and bushland areas are also favoured sites for culture and recreation.

The provision of all ecosystem services relies on supporting these habitats.
