Linking Australia's Landscapes: Lessons and Opportunities from Large-scale Conservation Networks James Fitzsimons, Ian Pulsford, Geoff Wescott

Networks of land managed for conservation across different tenures have rapidly increased in number (and popularity) in Australia over the past two decades. These include iconic large-scale initiatives such as Gondwana Link, the Great Eastern Ranges Initiative, Habitat 141°, and the South Australian NatureLinks, as well as other, landscape-scale approaches such as Biosphere Reserves and Conservation Management Networks. This book draws out lessons from a variety of established and new connectivity conservation initiatives from around Australia, and is complemented by international examples.
