The Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research (ARI) is the biodiversity research organisation for the Department of Environment and Primary Industries of the government of Victoria, Australia. It provides advice on ecologically sustainable land and water management issues and with regard to threatened native flora and fauna. It is named after Sir Arthur Rylah, a long-serving Victorian politician and deputy state premier in the 1950s and 1960s. The institute was initially part of the Victorian Department of Natural Resources and Environment. However, in 2002 the Institute was transferred over to the newly formed Department of Sustainability and Environment.
