You are at the Natural Resources Management (NRM) site of ConservationSA. This site has been established to provide a wide range of information about Natural Resource Management including opportunities for community involvement in planning and delivery across the State.

Natural Resources Management (NRM) is the management of our natural resources which includes soil, water, landscapes, native vegetation, animals and ecosystems by anyone in the community. CCSA has a Natural Resource Management facilitator position funded through the state government, with the aim to better link community groups with NRM across the state.

New paper released on future challenges for the Australian NRM Governance System

Australia's NRM Governance System: Foundations and principles for meeting future challenges

This paper provides an introduction to thinking about NRM governance across Australia as a connected system of social organisation set within a linked socialecological system. Particular characteristics of Australia that need to shape its NRM governance design include: a variable rainfall and slow ecosystem repeat cycles; high ecosystem diversity; a range of social and political systems; local rules and customs; and a low rural population density.

The paper outlines the structure and mechanisms of Australia's NRM governance system, and draws on science and practical experience in analysing its shortcomings.
