Issues
Our region - with its subtropical weather and big range of places for things to live - has loads of different plants and animals, many of them found nowhere else.
Soil erosion is a process that happens naturally. How fast it happens depends on how steep a place is, the weather, plants - or lack of them - and what’s below the soil.
Weeds and pests
Pest animals and plants pose an ongoing and real threat to much of the 1.26 million hectares of land that makes up our region.
