EDO has been making recommendations for strong biodiversity, native vegetation and land management laws since 1995.
This group of submissions made over 200 recommendations on the regulations and other instruments that were implemented to support the NSW Government’s biodiversity and land clearing law reform package passed in 2016 (for background, see our page on the 2016 package here).
