About the summary
The National Land and Water Resources Audit (Audit) is conducting the first Australia-wide assessments of:
- water availability and quality
- dryland salinity
- vegetation
- rangelands
- agricultural productivity and sustainability
- Australians in natural resource management
- catchments, rivers and estuaries
- biodiversity
It is the first time that the Commonwealth, States and Territories have collaborated on such a broad program.
Rangelands-Tracking Changes defines the key attributes of a comprehensive monitoring, assessment and reporting program for Australia's rangelands. It outlines information on how to provide regular Australia-wide reports on changes in social, environmental and economic aspects of Australia's rangelands. This information will assist managers make decisions.
The proposed Australian Collaborative Rangeland Information System provides a model for governments to work together to implement the monitoring, assessment and reporting program.
