Australian nature is in trouble and needs all the help it can get. Many people want to make a difference but it can be hard to know what to do. And if you can only make a few small changes which ones would have the most impact?
Research led by RMIT University has asked this important question and identified 10 high priority actions that people can take to help nature. The actions are relatively easy to do and can deliver a large benefit for biodiversity.
This factsheet outlines what these actions are, why they are important and how to get started. It also explains how the research was undertaken.
