These seven case studies showcase the inspiring innovations of WA pastoralists who have participated in the Southern Rangelands Revitalisation Program run through the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) funded by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund – Resilient Soils and Landscape program and the WA State Government’s Climate Resilience Fund. The case studies show how pastoralists can tackle challenges to build prosperous, drought resilient and sustainable stations.
These case studies were co-prepared by DPIRD and Soils for Life.
