More on projects Why us?Natural resource management (NRM) is about taking care of our natural resources—our water, soil, plants and animals—through helping the people who care for them—our farmers, pastoralists, landholders and communities.
´The success achieved with this system shows that the Regional NRM groups can deliver a coordinated statewide delivery of extension and can serve as a model for a future way of working.”
Henry Brockman | Project Manager Carbon Farming, DAFWA
´Where rubber vine has been removed, local plants are coming back and they are growing back stronger. It´s easier to access to get through for hunting without having to combat the rubber vine in the way. And you are getting more animals around.”
‘Dougie’ McCasker | Team Rubber Vine
´It is vital we continue to look for ways to work together on fire management (between neighbours and cross-sector) in a well-planned way if we are to protect the things that we value in the rangelands.”

What are the Rangelands?The rangelands or ‘outback’ of Western Australia cover 85 per cent of the state, and
generally represent a region of low rainfall with arid and semi-arid climate with also
some tropical and sub-tropic climates in the far north.
Utilised for mining, pastoralism and tourism, many areas of the rangelands are suffering
from land degradation and loss of biodiversity.
Sustainable use of the rangelands is critical to Western Australia’s future. With proper
management of these resources including land, water, biodiversity and marine biological
systems, WA communities will continue to prosper economically, socially, culturally and environmentally.
