Natural Resources Recovery Program – Improving Land Condition to Increase Resilience to Climate Extremes in the Southern Gulf Region

Improving Land Condition to Increase Resilience to Climate Extremes in the Southern Gulf Region project aim is to build resilience of Southern Gulf rangelands to better cope with climate variability and extreme climatic events, through improving land condition and data for decision-making.  Land maintained in good condition is less susceptible to severe impacts from natural disasters and recovers faster. Long term, this results in improved soil health, better condition and extent of native vegetation, and a resilient regional economy through sustainable production systems.

Southern Gulf NRM is pleased to announce an opportunity for land managers to be involved in our NRRP project, improving land condition to increase resilience to climate extremes in the Southern Gulf region. The project is aimed at collaborating with land managers to implement on ground land management practices across 100,000 hectares.

Key deliverables of the project will include:

• Improving landscape resilience to natural disasters and climate change.
• Improving soil health and land condition across the region.
• Supporting stakeholders to adopt sustainable practices.
• Building capacity through education, collaboration, and long-term partnerships.
• Utilising data to inform effective decision-making and improve the understanding of our region’s landscape.
