Submission Guide: Inquiry into the Nature Positive bills
This submission guide is intended to assist groups and individuals to engage with the Committee inquiry. It is informed by Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) experience using Australia’s national environmental law, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), to protect wildlife, culture, community and climate since it was first implemented. EDO also works to improve our national environmental laws through providing specialist law reform and policy advice to stakeholders and policy-makers, and has engaged deeply in the EPBC Act reform process over the last five years.
