Western Australia has the enviable position of having one of the few biodiversity hotspots in the world. And this should be protected at all costs. So, the post Covid-19 recovery is the ideal time to create jobs in the Science and Conservation sector to protect and enhance this valuable asset.
We therefore ask the State government to add a recurrent investment of $100 million to the State budget allocation for the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) for biodiversity conservation in the Perth Peel region. This would then allow DBCA to fulfil its biodiversity conservation obligations as well as promote and provide visitor experiences in nature.
Please refer to our document “Science and Conservation Jobs Stimulus” for a road map of just some of the State Government employment opportunities that would protect our unique biodiversity and economic assets.
