Pressure is mounting on the Baird government to support the retention of key elements of anti land-clearing laws, with claims the Native Vegetation Act is sparing more than 100,000 native animals a year.

A report by WWF-Australia estimates land clearing for agriculture alone killed some 330,000 native animals a year on average between 1988 and 2005. That number dropped by 116,000 after the act came into force in 2005.

"The act is working, it's not broken," Martin Taylor, a WWF ecologist, said. "The only fixing it needs is that it should have a broader application."

Land-clearing restrictions should be extended to apply to all activities disturbing native habitat, such as infrastructure works, coal mining and urban sprawl, Dr Taylor said.

The controls "should fall on everybody regardless of what the purpose" of land clearing is, he said.

The Sydney Basin, for instance, has some 1900 koalas under limited protection, with about 300 of the marsupials resident near Campbelltown one of the areas with rapid housing growth.

The Baird government is expected to announce plans to revise the existing land-clearing laws before the March 28 election. It is understood the Liberal-Nationals coalition will adopt many of the recommendations of an independent panel that reviewed the state's biodiversity legislation.

The panel's report, released late last year, called for the repeal of the native vegetation and threatened species acts, replacing them with a new biodiversity conservation law.

NSW state election 2015: Extend native vegetation laws, WWF says

March 2, 2015, 5:14 p.m.

THERE are claims that NSW could encounter unprecedented levels of land clearing and threatened species will become extinct if the recommendations of a review of biodiversity legislation are adopted by the state government.

THERE are claims that NSW could encounter unprecedented levels of land clearing and threatened species will become extinct if the recommendations of a review of biodiversity legislation are adopted by the state government.

The Independent Biodiversity Legislation Review Panel handed down its final report in December.

It recommends repealing the Native Vegetation Act 2003, as well as repealing the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, parts of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 Act and "reconstituting elements of them in a new Biodiversity Conservation Act".

Greens candidate for Kiama Terry Barratt said the report portrayed current biodiversity legislation as an impediment to agricultural and other types of development, rather than recognising that it was there to protect NSW's biodiversity.

Mr Barratt said the proposed approach was "radical".

Gerroa Environmental Protection Society secretary Howard Jones said current laws helped protect areas such as the Illawarra escarpment.

Mr Jones said the report acknowledged change could lead to a loss of biodiversity and that its approach was "risk-based".

Kiama MP Gareth Ward said the proposals would "modernise and simplify" biodiversity laws.
