With research predominately publicly funded in Australia, much of the work and study is focused on scientific advancement, publications, and securing grants – rather than ‘science’ as a commercial product or service.

Victoria is home to a diverse range of environments, which vary based on factors like local climate, water availability, elevation, geology, geomorphology, soils, and others. In turn, these environments are home to different ecosystems, comprising all manner of life that have lived in these niches for centuries. This month, we take a look at some of these different ecosystems, and how we might value and protect them.
