| 摘要： | Australia's Roadsides Conservation Advisory Committee (RCAC) is an interagency partnership that was formed in 1975. Its prime goal is to protect road reserves, which are defined as the total strip of land reserved for transportation purposes. Management and construction planning are based on strong, defensible environmental decisions. Roadside handbooks have been written by many states and shires based on RCAC's conservation work. Private sector support is very important in Australia, and one of the goals of Greening Australia Inc. is to promote this support. Australia is far ahead of the United States in protecting and restoring native forest communities. However, they plant seedlings, instead of less-expensive seed. The Biolinks Project is restoring missing native vegetation to link the corridors between desert areas in western Victoria. These biolinks result in grassland and woodland communities alive with birds, some of them endangered species. Tourism influences some vegetation management decision. For example, the koala is not rare or endangered; yet, expensive koala fencing is constructed along highways to protect this animal that has great touristic value. |
