CFoC Regional Delivery of NRM priorities for the Arid Lands region of the Northern Territory

One of four NRM regions, the Arid Lands is an area of low population density and is the region with the highest concentration of Aboriginal freehold land in the NT. The highest priority threats to ecosystem health include feral species (primarily camels, rabbits, cats, fox), invasive species (Athel pine, Buffel grass) and climate change - particularly its effect on sensitive sites with unique microclimates. In addressing these regional priorities, it is essential to not only build community (including indigenous) capacity for on-ground actions but to develop and share a comprehensive knowledge base for all NRM participants.

作为四个自然资源管理（Natural Resource Management）区域之一，干旱地区人口稀疏，且是北领地（Northern Territory）原住民永久产权土地最集中的区域。对生态系统健康的最高优先级威胁包括野生化物种（主要为骆驼、兔子、猫、狐狸）、入侵物种（阿塞尔松、布菲尔草）以及气候变化——尤其对具有独特微气候的敏感区域的影响。在应对这些区域优先事项时，不仅需提升社区（包括原住民）的实地行动能力，还需为所有自然资源管理（NRM）参与者构建并共享一个全面的知识库。
