The Biodiversity Research and Monitoring Program (BRAMP) primarily supports the role of the ACT Conservator of Flora and Fauna (Conservator) by setting out biodiversity research and monitoring priority activities for a specified two year period. The BRAMP is a notifiable instrument under the Nature Conservation Act 2014 and relates to those aspects of the Conservator's role that are specific to monitoring and research.
The BRAMP sets out a two year program of biodiversity research and monitoring activities. A specific feature of the Biodiversity Research and Monitoring Program July 2022 – June 2024 is that it goes beyond the requirements of s.25 of the Act to include research and monitoring not directly related to biodiversity, and in particular bring effect to activities under the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Directorate's Science Plan 2022 (10.3 MB) .
The monitoring program primarily supports the role of the ACT Conservator of Flora and Fauna and contributes to:
- a long-term strategic approach to biodiversity monitoring and research;
- better understanding and tracking of ecosystem condition in the ACT; and
- an evidence base for environmental policy, program and resource allocation decisions, and reporting.
All current and repealed notifiable instruments made under the Nature Conservation Act 2014 can be found on the Legislation Register.
