A more effective means of delivering conservation management: a 'New Integrated Conservation' model for Australian rangelands

摘要: Desert ecology features long time-frames and extreme seasonal unpredictability. In addition, Australia’s arid rangelands have unique social, cultural, land-use land tenure characteristics that influence appropriate conservation management. These circumstances not been adequately incorporated into current models, which rely on statutory control (inadequate) grant funding. Application management of the capital supposed to finance an effective response thus remains largely divorced from actual circumstances. This paper briefly describes these structure currently applied in natural resource It then outlines a new approach – New Integrated Conservation model better match natural, cultural institutional ‘ecology’ rangelands. The has three elements: fiscal ecology, multiplex governance arrangements incorporation multiple objectives mixed approaches
