The federal environment minister, Sussan Ley, on Friday released the new 10-year strategy, saying the the government plans to broaden its responses from individual species to âpriority placesâ. Ley said the government wants to see âprotection of a more diverse range of species, including reptiles, amphibians, freshwater species, marine speciesâ. The government is developing the first of two five-year âaction plansâ to underpin the strategy.
