Abstract

Just over 12 months ago, the NSW Parliament passed the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. This article sets out to critique the legislation. It argues that the essentially procedural nature of the legislation may foster an inconsistent, and thus potentially unsuccessful, approach to biodiversity protection.
