Biodiversity
As a consequence of European settlement, Australia's natural ecosystems and wildlife have been adversely impacted upon and continue to be under significant threat as a consequence of human activities such as the clearing and modification of natural habitat. Urban areas, in particular, have been heavily modified by human activities to such an extent that very little remains of any natural habitat capable of supporting viable populations of wildlife.
Of most significance to biodiversity within the City of Monash are Gadiner's Creek Corridor, Scotchman's Creek Corridor and Dandenong Creek Corridor encompassing Damper Creek Reserve, Valley Reserve and Scotchman's Creek, and Dandenong Creek respectively.
