Forests & Reserves

More Forest Reserves Creates More Gain Against Climate Change

Forest and reserves in Australia are important assets to the country. These resources are critical to many aspects of the country. This is one of the reasons that they are mostly given out for management by private forest mangers.

At Climate Adaptation Australia, we also manage some forests and reserves in Australia. Their management is important to us because of the effects on climate change. In recent years, the proper management of forest and reserves in Australia has contributed positively to preserving climate.

Forest Management

Climate Adaptation Australia is one of the foremost forest managers in the country, operating within Australia’s Sustainable Forest Management Framework.

Climate Adaptation Australia helps to manage large hectares of forest in Australia. Managing forest is important to us because of their contribution it the environment. For instance, forests help in the prevention of heavy flooding in the environment. It also helps to purify the environment through oxygen release. Asides from these two, it preserved forest serves as the natural habitat of some wild animals and plants. It also helps withstand the heavy wind waves opting for destruction. These and many more are the reasons their preservation and management are important to us.

Also, we help provide superb policy framework and guidelines on other forest reserves not under our control. These policies and frameworks provide a guide through the actions and plans for the management of forests in Australia. They also help to give backings to some actions about forest management. In all, forest management in Australia is crucial to a sustainable environment. If Australia must adapt to genuine climate change, then forest management must be at the centre of many actions.

Forest management means being in touch with the actual areas under management to monitor the environment properly.

Land Management

Forest management without a discussion on land management—see the federal Land management policies overview—sounds incomplete.

For emphasis, the land is more important than forest management. The reason is straightforward without proper management of land upon. There may not be a permanent place for a forest. Hence, it is important that we first settle the issue of land before moving to forest management.

Management of land and land resources in Australia is critical to sustaining the natural balance of the environment and preventing man-made contaminants from creating negative impacts on the ecosystems.

Joint Management

Our joint management scheme helps you ensure that the knowledge and culture of the traditional owners of the land go on. This is important to many people who are personally inclined to traditional beliefs and culture. And who wants their culture passed on.

Initiative

Many initiatives are in place to ensure proper forest management in Australia. Many of these initiatives tilt towards the preservation of forest reserves management. This is important to help in the adaptation to climate change.

Forest and Parks Legislations

In giving authority to many of plans targeting forest reserve management, there have been legislative actions, notably the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
