Biodiversity - Biodiversity is essential to human survival in many ways, including medical research, the on-going health of our food supplies and the health of our environment. For its preservation, the maintenance of habitats should be given priority over saving individual species. The alternative of a zoo approach will only preserve individual species, not the biodiversity itself.

Zones - protect key zones in and affecting South Australia.

Mining - Exclusion zonies must be established for specified types of mining that may damage key environmental aspects such as ecosystems, aquifers and prime farming land.

Climate Change - Mitigation is the primary focus, as adaptation to climate change is only appropriate where it is essential, particularly as engineering solutions are likely to bring major problems in other areas in the future. Pollutants and excess materials such as carbon should be taxed according to their environmental impact. This is is preferred to an ETS, which has intractable problems of verifiability.

General strategies - Integrate environmental sustainability into government, business and community practices.

Farming - Phase in the replacement of non-sustainable farming practices with sustainable ones.

1. Establish a science-based independent management authority to ensure the continued natural health of the Great Artesian Basin.
2. Protect  the Simpson Desert region under the Wilderness Protection Act 1992.
3. Implement sanctuary zones to protect South Australia's marine habitats in accordance with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) scientific benchmark.
4. Prevent mining activity in the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary.

Mining - Define exclusion zones for specified mining practices.

General strategies

1. Implement a comprehensive consultation protocol across government, business and the community that builds and maintains protection and sustainability for the environment and the community.
2. Ensure that the Environmental Protection Authority is strongly and independently funded.
3. Commit South Australia to a peak and decline of all pollutants, including greenhouse gases.
4. Develop legislation that gives private landholders the right to protect their conservation land from mining and other degradation.
5. Limit urban expansion to the capacity and viability of the environment.

Farming - Fund R&D to devise sustainable farming systems, in particular reducing water usage, and implement a program to replace non-sustainable practices.
