By Associate Professor Janet Stanley and Professor John Stanley THE natural areas of Melbourne are under threat at the same time as there’s growing evidence of their importance for humans. In the late 1960s, the Victorian government designated 12 areas, covering 17 municipalities around Melbourne, as land set aside for recreation, conservation, farming and resource utilisation purposes. These areas are known as green wedges. Over the past 60 years the world has changed. The rapid population growth and expansion of Melbourne’s footprint, along with the subsequent losses in biodiversity as increasingly scarce natural environments disappear, are particularly important to the future of green wedges.
