Get reliable rangeland science

While we are local to our neighbours, very central to major cities, we are very remote from the politicians and decision makers, always a challenge to have our perspective heard, I reckon in 20 years that will change. The year is 2045. This paper explores the author's insights looking forward into the future, revealing both key aspirations for Australia's rangeland communities and potential roadblocks. For pastoral Australia to thrive in the future, management based on landscape needs will be the norm. There will be greater populace and regional economic developments in our rangeland communities. The term remote will become a thing of the past, and national affections for the rangelands will be regarded highly by all stakeholders. Failure to reach these goals will be to the detriment of the rangelands and its people.
