Flat-topped Yate (Or Swamp Yate) Woodlands 4. Tammar And Black- gloved Wallabies

5. Creeks 6. Freshwater Systems

The sustainability imperative 11

Fitz-Stirling Objectives* 1.Restore 16,000 ha of native vegetation…. 2.Protect and enhance 60,000 ha of remnant vegetation… 3.Improve the condition of 60% of creeks within 3 catchments 4.Increase the population of wallabies by 30% To be achieved by *From The Fitz-Stirling Functional Landscape Plan V 2.0

2a) Fitz-Stirling Strategies* 1.Land acquisition 2.Ecological restoration 3.Long-term ecological management 4.Native plant-based enterprises 5.Noongar Cultural Corridor (reconnecting communities) 6.Bush University 13 *Greening Australia’s priorities
