About
Up one levelThe Northern Australia Environment Alliance was formed in 2002 to improve the ability of conservation groups in Northern Australia to cooperate in their efforts to ensure best practice environmental management in the Australian North.
NAEA Vision
The lands and seas of tropical northern Australia, encompassing Cape
York Peninsula, the Gulf region, the Top End and the Kimberley, are
universally recognised for their natural and cultural heritage
significance.
Northern Australia is an ancient land shaped by
the seasonal extremes of the wet and the dry and managed for millennia
by its traditional owners. It is Aboriginal country and connections to
it remain strong.
Northern Australia has been spared the worst
impacts of land clearing and overdevelopment. Its diverse land and sea
environs remain interconnected and largely intact. However, this
fragile and complex environment is facing increasing development
pressures and urgent conservation challenges.
NAEA Charter
Groups of the Alliance have signed onto the shared vision and have agreed to work together to promote its achievement by:
- Developing NAEA as a network
- Using NAEA for information sharing and exchange
- Highlighting the unique characteristics of northern Australia and the need for policy approaches that reflect northern Australian conditions
- Developing common positions and policies where appropriate
