4. Achievements | Our Green Corridor


	SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS

The Green Corridor Coalition, an alliance of more than 50 conservation and community groups in the Lower Hunter, has achieved a lot in its short history.

In the last four years, the Green Corridor Coalition has:

Been extremely effective in raising awareness within the community, with local and state planners and within government about the need to protect connected areas across the landscape to give biodiversity a chance to survive (especially with a changing climate);
Empowered conservation and community groups and individuals in the community with a strategic vision, working cooperatively to achieve a shared goal of biodiversity conservation;
Has made a giant leap towards achieving its goal with more than 16,500 hectares of land having better biodiversity protection now (including an addition of 13,768 hectares of land reserved in the National Parks Estate) and another almost 13,000 hectares promised for reservation in the National Parks Estate.
Sustained an innovative, multi-faceted campaign against intense pressure of inappropriate urban development, forest logging and environmental degradation and neglect; and,
We have achieved a lot, though there is more to be done.
