​​​Every year, we produce a major interactive event dedicated to addressing a priority conservation challenge. We provide an inclusive platform for collaboration between Government, Non-Government, Indigenous Peoples, Academia and Industry. Together, we share knowledge and catalyse informed action for nature.​

 

The 30x30 and Beyond national symposium centred around Australia's achievement of Target 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework: Conserve 30% of Land, Waters and Seas. ​

 

Delegates joined this Interactive National Symposium to:​​

• Learn from the experiences of people delivering 30x30 across the country

• Support and centre Indigenous leadership, knowledge and perspectives 

• Examine and Reimagine the role and purpose of 30x30 in Australia

• Explore funding sources, mechanisms and solutions

• Venture beyond the standard values and metrics of measurement

• Reinforce the importance of culture and collaborative partnerships

• Workshop tools and frameworks for effective and equitable management 

• Collectively recommend strategies and actions to achieve 30x30 and Beyond

​​

The Interactive Program was designed with input from our Steering Committee, including perspectives from Federal and State Government agencies, NGOs and Indigenous People's Organisations. The schedule included a 2-full-day Symposium and an optional casual dinner.​​
