"There will be significant costs to the Australian economy and the welfare of all Australians if these are allowed to degrade."
What is Natural Resource Management?
This term refers to the management of land, water, soil, plants and animals with a focus on how management effects the quality of life both in the present and for future generations.
Give some examples of Natural Resource Management?
The Australian Government is investing $2 billion to achieve a real and
measurable difference to Australia’s environment. Caring for our Country funds
projects across the country to achieve national targets - projects that improve
biodiversity and sustainable farm practices.
* Australia's National Reserve System is a nation-wide network of reserves
especially set up to protect Australia's unique natural environment for
current and future generations.
* Australia's unique biodiversity underpins the functioning of our natural and
productive landscapes, but faces threats from habitat destruction, invasive
species, pollution and climate change
* Australia's coasts and critical aquatic habitats are significant
environmental assets which are also fundamentally important to the Australian
lifestyle and economy
* Over sixty per cent of Australia's landscapes are privately owned or leased
for agricultural production
Why do you think it is important to get it right?
If we don't focus on these environmental issues affecting Australia's Natural Resources we will not have them for future generations.
Think about some of the consequences if we don't manage these resources properly?
There will be no:
* food
* textiles for clothing
* land for farming
* clean water for drinking and crops
