The Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (BC Act) is a state-based act of parliament in New South Wales (NSW).[1] Its long title is An Act relating to the conservation of biodiversity; and to repeal the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, the Nature Conservation Trust Act 2001 and the animal and plant provisions of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.[2] It supersedes the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, and commenced on 25 August 2017.[3][4]
The purpose of the Act was to effect biodiversity reform in New South Wales, in particular to provide better environmental outcomes and reduce burdensome regulations.[3][5] The Act lists many more purposes under the rubric of "ecologically sustainable development" than the former Act, and specifically mentions "biodiversity conservation in the context of a changing climate".
Шаблон:As of and since mid-2019, the BC Act is administered by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.[6]
Threatened Species Scientific Committee
Division 7 of Part 4 of the BC Act established the Threatened Species Scientific Committee, which can provide advice to declare species, populations, and ecological communities as endangered.[7] Under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, the Scientific Committee has declared various threatened species including the alpine she-oak skink (Cyclodomorphus praealtus) and the alpine tree frog (Litoria verreauxii alpina),[8] while the Scientific Committee has determined "Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub" to be a critically endangered ecological community.[9]
The main functions of the Threatened Species Scientific Committee include:[6]
- assessing the risk of extinction of a species in Australia and deciding which species should be listed as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or extinct in NSW;
- for species that are not listed as threatened species, deciding if there are populations of those species that should be listed as threatened in NSW;
- assessing the risk of extinction of an ecological community in Australia and deciding which ecological communities should be listed as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or collapsed ecological communities;
- deciding which key threats to native plants and animals should be declared key threatening processes under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (BC Act); and
- reviewing and updating the lists of threatened species, populations and communities and key threatening processes in the schedules of the BC Act.
