Outlines the principles of history and the importance of integrated land management to meet climate change and biodiversity loss
Leading the way with its integrated landscape management approach to natural resource management, Australia has established a national ILM infrastructure that has endured 25 years despite peaks and troughs in funding and policies.
This paper outlines the principles of ILM, the historical context that led to the formation of regional NRM organisations and how ILM is well-placed to help Australia scale-up investment and on-ground action for nature protection and restoration, increase climate mitigation and climate adaptation, restock natural capital and build resilience while reducing risk to extreme events.
