Nature reserves protect and enhance the site’s terrestrial, riparian and aquatic habitats including various native plant and animal communities, some of which are significant.
Nature reserves may have areas of degraded habitat (cleared areas and non-remnant vegetation) that require rehabilitation to consolidate the reserve and build landscape connectivity.
Public access is through formal arrangements and supporting infrastructure. Secondary purposes may include sustainable recreation, research and education activities associated with the promotion and knowledge sharing of the site’s ecological and cultural values. |
