Grain & Graze Fact Sheet

A groundbreaking national research project is underway on 43 mixed farms to quantify the relationships between biodiversity and on-farm production. The Biodiversity in Grain & Gr

Making economic valuation work for biodiversity conservation

This booklet explores what economic valuation techniques can contribute to biodiversity conservation. It draws on a national workshop on the Economic Value of Biodiversity held in 2003 by the Department of the Environment and Heritage and Land & Wa

SGSL Biodiversity Theme

Integrating the information from the SGSL National Research Sites

The complete analysis of the biodiversity data is made difficult by issues of scale. The SGSL Biodiversity Theme protocols were written to focus on measures of biodiversity at a plot scale. However, the way that salinity is manifested in the landscape means that salt-affected areas may or may not operate at a comparable scale. This is especially apparent in the NSW and VIC projects, where the strongly salt-affected areas (more)...

Biodiversity and Wool Production- Answers to the 10 Big Questions

Northern Tablelands Project Fact Sheet: 9

Early in the Land Water and Wool (LWW) Northern Tablelands Project (NSW), local woolgrowers developed a list of ten critical issues they wanted answered, about wool production and biodiversity. These ten issues are pivotal to profitable, biodiverse wool

Bats on New England wool properties

Northern Tablelands Project Fact Sheet: 2

Small, insect eating bats (‘microbats’) fulfill an important role on wool properties, that of natural pest control. Microbats eat a wide range of invertebrates, predominantly moths, beetles and bugs, with some species also consuming mosquitoes and grasshopppers.

Our reputation for quality wool in the Northern Midlands rides on the sheep's back - and on the health of our native vegetation

This factsheet is a summary of the Integrating Biodiversity with Sustainable Grazing Systems project. Provides information about the success of Tasmanian Midlands woolproducers, and the key aims, objectives and outcomes of the project.
