Get reliable rangeland science

Visitors to my home in the Arcadia Valley north of Injune in Central Queensland remark at the breathtaking beauty that surrounds us. Framed by the sandstone cliffs of the Expedition and Carnarvon Ranges, beef cattle graze on a diverse pasture comprising dense perennial pastures and mixed legume species. Looking forward 20 years from now, I envisage I will be looking out over my paddocks with an immense sense of pride knowing that in 2045 the land continues to reward generational stewardship and advocacy. However, this reality will require ongoing commitment to sustainable practices, as well as business agility, as new markets emerge, and unforeseen challenges arise. In this paper, I present my own firsthand experience of business advocacy with purpose directed at environmental stewardship and accountability. I then present a case for concern on the legacy impact s of coal seam gas extraction in the rangelands, as an example of competing land use challenges. The system designed to protect the interests of all stakeholders cannot be compromised for short term financial gain, as this will only lead to increased risks of adverse longer-term environmental impacts, production losses and psychosocial trauma. I will end with future expectations relevant to all rangeland users and policy makers.
