Healthy Land and Water is leading this work, undertaking surveys and interviews to understand the benefits of nature-based on-ground actions taken by landholders from environmental, economic, cultural, and social perspectives.
This evaluation focuses on:
- Exploring the fire risk reduction and resilience benefits of NbS at both property and landscape scales.
- Understanding how landholders apply knowledge gained from workshops and identify enablers and barriers to implementation.
- Documenting the benefits of NbS from environmental, economic, cultural, and social perspectives.
- Considering how Healthy Land & Water’s community fire workshop approach could be scaled and these NbS translated to other areas, and to other NRM regions across the country.
Knowledge and understanding gained from this project will directly benefit landholders and communities by:
- Knowledge sharing and communication of the effectiveness of NbS with partners, targeted programs, stakeholders, and communities.
- Improving the delivery of education and capacity building workshops and activities of the Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium, which in turn benefits those participants and their communities.
- Identifying potential opportunities to expand and scale nature-based fire resilience approaches into other NRM regions and across the country.
