Description: "Nature Conservation Review Victoria, 2001" is the third comprehensive review of the status of nature conservation that the Victorian National Parks Association has produced in the past 30 years.  Through careful research and analysis, Dr. Barry Traill and Dr. Christine Porter have achieved what earlier editions did in their time, and produced an invaluable resource that will help set the agenda for nature conservation in Victoria for the future.  In documenting the continuing threats to ecosystems and species, our declining fisheries and the spread of invasive species, the authors challenge the belief that Victoria's natural systems are adequately protected.  This document provides government, scientists and conservationists with the evidence needed to effectively manage and conserve Victoria's remarkable biodiversity.
