Project area

Project aims Engaging landholders in the control of feral goats and rabbits at a landscape scale Reducing total grazing pressure Improving the condition & resilience of native vegetation for biodiversity and productivity outcomes

Project governance Riverland Biosphere Steering Committee Burra to Pualco Ranges Steering Committee Project Management Committee Landholders & Stakeholders

Stakeholders & partners Natural Resources SA Murray-Darling Basin & Northern and Yorke Rangelands & Riverland NRM Groups Landholders and pastoralists in the project area Australian Landscape Trust (Calperum and Taylorville Stations) Birdlife Australia (Gluepot Reserve) Bush Heritage Australia (Boolcoomatta Reserve) Australian Wildlife Conservancy (Scotia Sanctuary) NSW DECCW (Tarawi Nature Reserve) DEWNR Pastoral Unit Volunteer Organisations Western Local Land Services (NSW) Parks Victoria

Aerial surveys Landholder & stakeholder engagement On-ground works Building landholder capacity Monitoring (vegetation, satellite tracking and conceptual model) Project components

Aerial survey ( )

Landholder & stakeholder engagement Property visits Tailoring communication to suit landholders Steering Committee membership Landholder grant agreements

Challenges for engagement Wide variety of views regarding feral goats Economic value of feral goats Limited amount of labour & time available to landholders/pastoralists Geographical barriers Previous experiences & attitudes towards government projects

On-ground works Dam rationalisations

Warren ripping On-ground works

Before After Warren imploding On-ground works

Aerial operations Strategically targeted based on geography and aerial survey results Landholders can choose mustering/culling or culling In kind contribution of on-ground mustering support Targeting feral goat populations that are inaccessible On-ground works

Mustering and trap yards On-ground works

Building landholder capacity Providing technical advice Assisting with grant applications Permanent trap/muster yard construction Portable trap yards for loan Exclusion fencing In-kind contribution from landholder for all on-ground works
