DRAFT<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>West</strong> Regional NRM Strategy – Ancillary Document<br />

Identified threats: Dieback and o<strong>the</strong>r pathogens; pollution; climate change; water extraction; introduced<br />

species; weeds; feral animals; clearing; land management practises; erosion; fire; plantations; domestic<br />

animals (cattle, sheep etc.), where allowed to graze; realignment of roads with consequent clearing and<br />

human use (population increase)<br />

Comments: Lack of public understanding of value <strong>for</strong> biodiversity along roadsides etc. LGAs appear to<br />

look more at safety than <strong>the</strong> broader socio-cultural issues.<br />

5.3.1.42 Community landcare nurseries<br />

Asset value: Exceptional<br />

Threat score: Low<br />

Asset identifiable: Yes<br />

SMART goal <strong>for</strong> actions: xx<br />

Will proposed action make real difference: xx<br />

Likely private intervention if required: xx<br />

Likely public intervention if required: xx<br />

Identified threats: Dieback and o<strong>the</strong>r pathogens; fire; loss/degradation of vegetation remnants that are<br />

source of seeds and lack of funding<br />

Comments: Refers mainly to <strong>the</strong> Geographe community landcare nursery; value is mainly as source of<br />

seedlings of local provenance.<br />

5.3.1.43 Productive agricultural land<br />

Identified threats: Climate change; land and fire management practises; introduced species; weeds; feral<br />

animals; clearing; water extraction; development (subdivisions); mining; salinity; erosion; plantations and<br />

human use<br />

Comments: Should be protected <strong>for</strong> long-term food production; is part of <strong>the</strong> environment, but can be a<br />

liability if not managed correctly.<br />
