The Hon. John Brumby will tomorrow launch a cross-disciplinary action plan to better predict possible stresses on Australia’s complex ecosystems and therefore better manage our remarkable natural resources.
The work of more than 60 high-flying early career scientists and social scientists brought together by the Australian Academy of Science from around Australia and across the scientific disciplines, the document will inform local, regional, state and federal planning for managing Australia’s environment.
