CFoC Regional Delivery of NRM priorities for the Gulf Savanna of the Northern Territory

One of four NRM regions, the Gulf Savanna is an area of low population density and has a high concentration of pastoral land. It also includes a stretch of coastline extending along a large portion of the Gulf of Carpentaria. The highest priority threats to ecosystem health include feral species (such as cats and pigs), invasive species (Prickly acacia, Bellyache bush), inappropriate fire regimes and climate change. 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.
