Sustainable Wildlife Enterprises (SWE) is a property -level stewardship initiative that sets out to trial the sustainable commercial use of wildlife. The objective is to create alternative revenue streams for rangeland managers while achieving net conservation benefit, including the restoration of habitat on private lands (Wilson & Mitchell 2005). AEMS Farm Solution has been implemented as a data management tool, to improve the capacity of land managers within the Murray Darling Rangelands Conservancy Inc. (MDRC Inc) to put in place holistic property and wildlife management plans, monitor system and performance outcomes, and communicate information. The web -based planning system has legal compliance and continual improvement elements and is being designed to allow for the maintenance of GIS and agronomic data, and for the control of land based activities, including natural resource management. Integration of management systems and secure data sharing is at the core of the data management approach. The objective is to provide a system that is producer friendly, appeals to industry, NRM regulators and other service providers, and enables verification of product integrity.
