Biodiversity is the variety of all life forms on earth – around 84% of plants, 83% of mammals, and 45% of birds found only in Australia. Invasive species pose major threats to the rangelands biodiversity, reducing overall species abundance and diversity. Fire of an unnatural frequency and intensity, flooding and drought through land damage and climate change are all threatening our natural biodiversity. Working across these areas we work to protect and retain this abundance and diversity.

Finding common ground to protect Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area

Reducing risks to bilby habitat across the northern rangelands
Rangelands NRM will facilitate the engagement of Traditional Owners, Indigenous Rangers and pastoralists into complementary initiatives to address known threats.
Weed control for threatened species habitat
The Pilbara Mesquite Management Committee (PMMC) has been operating locally in the Pilbara region since 2001, working primarily with land managers to battle weed issues on pastoral leases, mining tenements and conservation estates.
