Kimberley Across the c.250 M ha of Northern Australia, protect and sustainably manage the world’s largest intact area of tropical savannas, seas & rivers through 1.Effectively managed, connected Protected Areas conserving half the savannas (60Mha) 2.Large network of marine sanctuaries across the Arafura & Timor Seas, Gulf of Carpentaria 3. Maintaining hydrological connectivity along 1 million km of undammed rivers & creeks 4. Slowing & reversing the mammal extinction crisis 5. Storing tens of gigatons of carbon by managing fire, grazing, ferals, clearing 6. Enhancing landscape connectivity & climate resilience along 4,000km long corridor 7. Create Indigenous futures eg, Caring for Country, tourism, fee-for-service contracts 8. Supporting sustainable grazing through stewardship payments, stronger laws 9. Providing resource security for sustainability-focussed companies eg, mines, LNG 10. Reducing land-based pollution of coral reefs & fisheries in Arafura & Timor Seas 11.
