The Australian Network for Plant Conservation (ANPC) acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters across Australia where we live, work, and carry out conservation. We pay our deep respects to Elders past and present, and to emerging leaders, who have cared for Country and native flora through countless generations. We recognise that Australia’s native plants are not only ecological treasures but are also integral to living, sovereign cultures that have thrived for tens of thousands of years. ANPC is committed to listening, learning, and walking in respectful partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples—who have always been, and remain, the first scientists, ecologists, and custodians of this continent.
