A key action under Queensland’s Protected Area Strategy 2020-2030 is to facilitate the effective management of private protected areas through innovative partnerships. In supporting this action, the Queensland Government through the Department of Environment and Science (DES) has funded a two-year contract with Ecosure and NRM regions to deliver a range of services and products to assist landholders managing their Nature Refuge through the Private Protected Area Program (PPAP).
This includes establishing a baseline for future landholder engagement as well as directing activities and efforts as part of a strategic plan.
