Biodiversity
Biodiversity (biological diversity) means the variety of living things embracing all of the micro-organisms, the plants, animals and ecosystems, which are found in a given area of land or body of water. Diversity of living organisms is essential for the existence of all living things. An essential component of ecological sustainable development is the long-term maintenance of biodiversity throughout the region.
Wagga Wagga City Council's strategic goals for biodiversity are: to strive for a sustainable built and natural environment; to encourage development that protects biodiversity and natural ecological processes; to promote stewardship and best practice land use policies to protect the environment and enhance the economy; and to promote the principles of ecological sustainable development.
