Case Study: Queensland’s Nature Reserve Program and North Head Station
Queensland’s hugely successful ‘Nature Reserve Program’ provides a demonstration of the impact that can be achieved through conservation partnerships with landowners. The program has secured 500 nature refuges for an investment of just $4 million, translating to just 25 cents per hectare. Three of the largest nature refuges are on pastoral stations and protect more than 728,000 hectares of tropical savanna, woodlands and native grasslands
