Some conservation goals for the rangelands can be met by managing pastoral land in a more sustainable manner. Other conservation goals will only be met by managing some areas entirely for conservation. One key to reducing land degradation in the rangelands lies in more careful management of the total grazing pressure (including feral animals). Significant factors in achieving this will be: a vastly improved flow of information resulting in adoption of more sustainable practices; hard decisions by government, including restructure of pastoral industry and legislation; intelligent national cooperation and a commitment to the longterm future of the rangelands from all involved with the industry.
