Abstract:

Australia is a typical island country with a vast territory. Since the 18th century, Australia has introduced a large number of alien species, including some valuable species of animals and plants. However, many of these alien species have become harmful to agricultural production and biodiversity. Australian government has paid attention to the management of alien invasive species and local bio-resources, and established comprehensive policy and regulation, management agencies, technical support, funds supervision, public education system, and is in the leading level of the international biodiversity conservation and utilization. This paper briefly introduced the relevant strategies and guidelines of Australian agricultural biodiversity conservation and management, and indicated the significant reference to China: (1) to establish and improve China’s biodiversity conservation laws and regulations system; (2) to establish and improve the long-term mechanism of China’s biodiversity management; (3) to establish an efficient and sustainable supervision system of biodiversity funds; (4) to establish the comprehensive and the whole people participating ecology protection and advocacy training system; (5) to strengthen the supporting role of science and technology in the biodiversity management.
