Rangelands NRM BMPs

Summary:

Rangelands NRM is the largest of the NRM regions in Australia. It covers around 85% (2,266,000 sq km) of the WA State’s land mass, and 75% of the coastline. The region is rich in minerals, pastoralism, horticulture, fishing, and tourism.

The rangelands are made up of: Conservation, Nature and Marine Reserves & National Parks; 98 million hectares of pastoral leases stretching from the Kimberley to the Great Australian Bight; key mining sites; vast tracts of unallocated Crown Land; Aboriginal managed lands; major river systems and significant underground water resources; threatened ecological communities; areas of cultural significance to Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities; important segments of the beef, wool, sheep and goat meat, and fishing and aquaculture industries; and major tourism attractions and activities.

Due to the vast size of Rangelands, community engagement is undertaken through four recognised subregional areas.

The following pages list projects that have been completed through funding provided by Rangelands NRM WA.
