Cultural burn to protect Salt pipewort, climate smarts on the rise & river restoration to support rare Sawfish

The national NRM update for December 2025-January 2026 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.
