The ANPC will hold the 14th Australasian Plant Conservation Conference (APCC14) in Toowoomba, Queensland, from 13-17 October 2024 at the Oaks Toowoomba Hotel.

From Little Things…

The conference theme recognises how the many Little Things that we do – in science, land management, and community-based conservation – can grow into the Big Things that can save our biodiversity heritage.

APCC14 will bring together, from across Australasia, plant conservation scientists, researchers, practitioners and land managers, government agency staff, community groups, students and volunteers. It will be a forum to discuss recent advances and problems in plant conservation, and how best to manage the key threats. We will explore new insights into the recovery of native plants after natural disasters (such as fire), the conservation of threatened species and communities, and emerging new threats from plant diseases in the wild, including Myrtle Rust.

A key part of APCC14 will be to help strengthen and build plant conservation networks. We hope that the conference will be a springboard for raising the profile of plant conservation in Queensland, including through the Queensland Threatened Plant Network (QTPN). This is a new initiative coordinated through a partnership between the ANPC and the Queensland Department of Environment, Science and Innovation. The QTPN seeks to support and facilitate groups and new partnerships for the conservation of native flora and threatened plant recovery across the State.
