eDNA to detect elusive Chuditch, caring for Country planning & native pollinators to step up for veggies

The national NRM update for April 2025 represents just a handful of NRM projects among hundreds happening across Australia, which are made possible through funding from the Australian Government, state governments and others.

Through these projects regional NRM organisations are providing an essential service to all Australians – they support the health and productivity of our natural resources to produce our food, fibre, water, soil and air – critical for life.
