🇦🇺 Australia
Jurisdiction
Australia's primary federal environmental law. The EPBC Act provides a legal framework to protect and manage nationally and internationally important flora, fauna, ecological communities, and heritage places — defined as matters of national environmental significance (MNES). It establishes a referral, assessment, and approval process for actions that may significantly impact MNES, and includes provisions for wildlife trade, threatened species listing, heritage protection, marine area management, strategic assessments, and penalties. The Act is administered by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW).
