Marking 25 years since the regional natural resource management model was agreed in Australia, our 9th NRM conference was a celebration of everything we have learned and preparations for the next 25 years.
Conference: Monday 8 September- Friday 12 September
The 9th National NRM Knowledge Conference was held in Cairns in September and started with workshops on Monday 8 September, through til the final field trip Friday afternoon on 12th September. The conference was for anyone working, participating or interested in natural resource management – to share, learn and inspire.
Co-hosted by North Queensland regional NRMs (Cape York Natural Resource Management, Gulf Savannah NRM, Terrain NRM, NQ Dry Tropics NRM & NRM Regions Queensland) this year’s conference theme ‘Changing Landscapes and New Horizons’ reflected both the challenges we face in caring for our changing environment, and the profound impact that integrated landscape management can have in restoring Australia’s unique natural places. The program also explored the innovation and ingenuity that the sector is embracing as we move to tackle the wicked problems of our times.
Contributions came from all areas of the natural resource management sector from local bush groups, to farmers and pastoralists, to researchers and scientists, Indigenous land managers, and regional NRM organisations. The diverse contributions from across the country was key to the success of the conference and to celebrating 25 years of the regional NRM model!
