Raise the profile of good environmental work that is happening.
Why it is important?
Many landholders, community groups and industry organisations are achieving great natural resource management outcomes and making a significant contribution to the health of our natural assets. Sharing details about successful projects and initiatives acknowledges the efforts of those involved, inspires others to follow suit and keeps hard working individuals motivated. This can result in increased participation and effectiveness of environmental projects.
Examples of Local Action
Hold an environmental management/engagement forum, to share details of successful approaches, projects or methods.
Prepare case studies of successful projects and make them available in a central place (eg. Wet Tropics Plan for People and Country).
Promote good news stories in various media and communication channels.
