Conservation of intergenerational assets

Overview

What’s this about?

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, the 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.

One key action outlined in the Threatened Species Framework is the declaration of important areas of threatened species habitat in national parks as Assets of Intergenerational Significance

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

We have a statutory obligation to prepare and implement a concise conservation action plan which sets out:

• key risks to the declared area of habitat for the threatened species
• priority actions to reduce risks to this important habitat – such as dedicated feral animal control or fire management, or the establishment of insurance populations
• actions to measure and report on the health and population of the threatened species.
