During the 1990s the Commonwealth worked cooperatively with State and Territory governments, traditional owners, industry, the farming community and conservation groups towards a national rangeland strategy. This provided the framework for the Australian Collaborative Rangelands Information System (ACRIS). The ACRIS report, Rangelands 2008 – Taking the Pulse, provides the necessary information for addressing biophysical and socio-economic science and information gaps, and gives renewed impetus to revisit rangelands issues and management practices, as specified in the 1999 National Principles and Guidelines for Rangeland Management.Â
