Victorian Volcanic Plains

Healthy ecosystems are vital

Healthy ecosystems and our native plants and animals provide us with clean air to breathe, healthy soil to grow food, and assist in the regulation of climate, floods and drought. Our economy is reliant on a healthy environment. Healthy ecosystems form the basis of Victoria’s primary production industries, such as agriculture, forestry and fisheries. Healthy parks, forests and coastlines provide the natural attractions that underpin the billions of dollars that tourism contributes to the State’s economy.
