Assets of Intergenerational Significance conservation action plans consultation

To date, 279 sites have been declared as Assets of Intergenerational Significance across 127 national parks, protecting the key habitat for:

• 77 threatened plant species, including the previously declared Wollemi pine
• 31 threatened animal species
• 6 locally extinct mammals which have been reintroduced to 4 of the feral predator-free fenced areas.

An Asset of Intergenerational Significance can be any area of exceptional value – environmental or cultural – that warrants special protection including dedicated management measures.

For each Asset of Intergenerational Significance, National Parks and Wildlife Service has a statutory obligation to prepare and implement a concise conservation action plan which sets out:

• the environmental and cultural values of the land
• key risks to those values
• management activities to address and mitigate the risks – such as dedicated feral animal control or fire management
• actions to measure and report on the health and condition of the declared value.
