Preserving Natural Values

Indigenous native plant species are vital for natural area and habitat restoration and help preserve the local biodiversity that is significantly high in SEQLD

Plants play important roles in their terrestrial environments. They are vital to local healthy waterways which support many industries and our quality of life. These vegetation communities can help regulate our weather events and local climate, inducing local rain events (Up to 70% percent of local rainfall can be contributed to plants and vegetation), mitage flood events, sequester carbon, cool the enviroment and stabilise terrestrial and aquatic temperatures (important for aquatic life), stop weed invasion - (a billion dollar a year cost, reducing weed control herbicides that is also putting pollutant in our water), provide erosion control ( curbing another damaging pollutant), remediate polluted soils and biofiltrate urban, agricultural, and storm water waste, purifying it all before it enters Moreton Bay, and negatively effecting marine ecosytems.Native plants are specialised to grow and support our environment and ecosystem health. They are incredibly undervalued considering the roles that they do in our community.
