The native temperate grasslands and grassy woodlands of the south-eastern lowlands are among Australia’s most threatened ecosystems.
They have been reduced in area by clearing for development or improved pasture, and are threatened by introduced plants, fertiliser application and changes in the use of fire.
Relatively undisturbed patches are generally very small.
Most native alpine grasslands are now protected in national parks.
There is an increasing community interest in native grasslands.
