What measures have government undertaken to preserve wildlife?

Answer 1

The measures have government undertaken to preserve wildlife are: * Nearly 30% of people who responded fed wildlife, and 6 out of 10 have bird baths. * Lorikeets, rosellas and other parrots, as well as magpies are the most commonly fed birds. * Australians have one of the highest levels of pet ownership in the world - this survey found just over 50% of people own a cat or a dog or both. * Most people (63%) who responded considered domestic pets to be the biggest threat to wildlife in their garden. * 50% of dog owners keep their dogs inside at night. 71% of cat owners keep their cats inside at night. * The well-known technique of putting a bell on cats (40% of cat owners do this) was reported to work very well for frogs and reptiles and birds but not for mammals.All wildlife groups were much more commonly seen in gardens close to bushland. * Gardens with native plants, and especially local native plants, supported a significantly greater diversity of wildlife than gardens with more exotic plants. * If you want less snakes, but can cope with more centipedes & millipedes, earthworms & flatworms, and snails, then you need to go to the Wet Temperate Coasts. * If you want to increase your chances of having more types of mammals in your garden, you need to live in the Northern Wet-Dry Tropics. * We more likely to have wombats in our garden in the Temperate Highlands. * The Subtropical slopes/plains region appears to make the most effort attracting wildlife - with more nestboxes, feeding and birdbaths than anywhere else. * People living in the Arid Interior are more likely to control their cats - putting bells on them and keeping them inside at night. * Gardens in the Semi-arid Tropical/subtropical Plains are more likely than anywhere else to have snakes and Birds of Prey. Since 1993 the NSW Murray Wetlands Working Group - a community-based conservation group - has been managing 30 000 megalitres of environmental water on behalf of the NSW Government. The program is aimed at improving and rehabilitating degraded wetland ecosystems along the Murray and Lower Murray-Darling catchments in NSW. The 30 000 ML was derived through infrastructure improvements during the privatisation of a large irrigation company in southern-central NSW and funded by the NSW Government. To date the environmental program has: * Extended a natural flood event through the Barmah-Millewa Forest and ensured successful bird-breeding of more than 30 000 waterbirds * Watered a remnant stand of Common Reeds (Phragmites australis) within the Werai Forest * Watered approximately 120 isolated floodplain wetlands on private properties within southern-central NSW I found it in the Google search.
