Protecting our natural resources

Collaborative action for healthy landscapes and seascapes, protected natural values, and sustainable livelihoods and lifestyles.

Our Story > Our Strategy >

We work to keep the natural and productive landscapes of south-eastern Tasmania healthy over the long term. We play a key role in building partnerships, securing and directing investment, connecting knowledge and expertise to action and increasing the capacity of others to engage in NRM activities.

Tasmania’s southern region covers 2.5 million hectares of land and is bounded by the Southern Ocean. It is recognised globally for its healthy, intact and diverse natural landscapes and productive land and seascapes. Our region’s wealth of natural resources underpins southern Tasmania’s identity as well as its economic, social, and environmental wellbeing.

Featured Projects

  • Enhancing outcomes for Swan galaxias

    Endemic to Tasmania, the endangered Swan galaxias only occurs in small, highly fragmented populations in eastern Tasmania. Under threat from invasive species such as trout and redfin perch, climate change and a small, fragmented population size, this project aims to address these threats through a series of initiatives that build upon an earlier NRM South led project completed in 2023.

    Actions for Ammonite Snail

    Endemic to Tasmania, the critically endangered Ammonite Snail is known from only a handful of locations in the Greater Hobart region. In order to conserve this species, more information is needed about its habitat, range and how it overlaps with similar species. This project is working to address knowledge gaps, develop species management guidelines and work with private landowners in and around Hobart to implement conservation actions for this species.

  • Farming Forecaster Tasmania – Supporting Farmers for Drought Resilience

    The increasing occurrence of drought in parts of Tasmanian including the midlands, Derwent catchment and Tasmania’s east coast has significantly reduced seasonal ground cover. Without adaptive measures, these declines will lead to increased soil erosion and soil carbon loss, and a decline in viability of dryland grazing systems. This project aims to help address some of these issues by supporting farmers with more responsive planning tools to improve dryland pasture management decision-making.
