Fauna and Flora Guarantee Act (1986)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fauna and Flora Guarantee Act (1988) is an act of the Victorian government designed to protect species, genetic material and habitats, to prevent extinction and allow maximum genetic diversity within the state of Victoria for perpetuity.
It was the first Australian legislation to deal with such issues.
It specifically excludes pathogenic bacteria and viruses from protection.
Protected species are known as "Victorian rare or threatened species" or VROTS.
