The Federal Government has announced the release of the final Caring for our Country report into natural resource management.

 

The report found that Caring for our Country is on track to meet all of its major goals in supporting the broader community, including increasing the uptake of sustainable land management practices and environmental conservation.

 

Caring for our Country commenced on 1 July 2008 and is investing more than $2 billion over its first five years to achieve an environment that is healthier, better protected and supports sustainable production in a changing climate.

 

The Australian Government initiated the review in late 2010 to consult widely with the community on what was working well under Caring for our Country and what could be improved in the future.
