Australia is making good progress toward a clean and affordable energy future, but we must plan and build renewable projects in places that work for people and nature. Poorly located renewable projects risk damaging the places and wildlife we love and eroding public trust in the energy shift we need.
Working with leading experts from the University of Melbourne, this groundbreaking report puts nature at the heart of renewable energy development by mapping where renewables can be built with minimal impact on Australia's threatened plants and animals.
Working with the experts ACF has highlighted three case studies: Gippsland Victoria, Central West Orana in New South Wales and the Banana Shire in Central Queensland to show the benefits renewables can deliver for regional Australians while protecting threatened plants and animals.
