“Our land carer groups have long called for better protection for Canberra’s parks and habitat,” said Jo Clay, ACT Greens member for Ginninderra and ACT Greens spokesperson for Parks and Conservation.
“I understand that funding for urban rangers dropped from $1.34M in 2018-19 to $1.28 million this year. At the same time, we’re experiencing a climate crisis and an extinction crisis. We must do better.”
“Only 33% of critically endangered grassland and grassy woodland remnants are in our ACT reserve system,” said Sarah Sharp.
“We fully support Ms Clay’s proposal to better protect Canberra’s nature.”
