Every year, significant time, funds and expertise are invested in the protection of native vegetation in the Mount Lofty Ranges.

These investments are made by private and government landholders with the support of the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges NRM Board.

The goal of this work is to prevent the loss of biodiversity by protecting the most significant and most vulnerable assets.

Using spatial data analysis, Ecological Associates is assisting with the prioritisation of vegetation associations according to remnancy, extent, conservation significance and fragmentation.
