Plan regional nature repair programs for the greatest environmental and social outcomes

Plan regional nature repair programs for the greatest environmental and social outcomes

Create portfolios of management actions by prioritising what’s important to you

Predict the portfolio benefits across multiple indicators

  • Land productivity
  • Water quality
  • Biodiversity
  • First Nations
  • Social
  • Economics
  • Climate change

Customise preset action types to suit your specific environment

Customisable options include effectiveness, costs, adoption likelihood and confidence

Positive actions

Positive actions

  • Broadacre agricultural practice improvement (Grazing, cropping)
  • Intensive agriculture practice improvement
  • Revegetation (terrestrial, wetland and riparian)
  • Stream management
  • Gully management
  • Point source improvement
  • Preservation (protecting high value environmental assets)
Negative actions

Negative Actions

  • Continued land clearing
  • Point source pollution
  • Poor land maintenance

Adoption

Assess the likelihood of an action being adopted

Confidence

Measure confidence in predicted benefits and budget estimates

Availability

Natural Capital Region is a modelling platform that needs to be populated with locally specific data to represent the current conditions of all indicators and the locally specific effectiveness of each potential action against each indicator.

The pilot region for Natural Capital Region development and testing was the Queensland Murray Darling Basin region.
