PhD opportunity: Pathways to nature-based enterprise: Enhancing biodiversity protection & livelihoods in Northern Australian rangelands 22d ago , from NRMJobs Environmental Jobs The Australian Parliament passed the Nature Repair Act in 2024, opening the newest of a number of nature-based markets where landholders can potentially gain economic benefit for protecting biodiversity and other aspects of natural capital on their property. The rangelands make up over 80% of the Australian land area, and harbour important natural values, including biodiversity. In the northern rangelands, biodiversity values are particularly significant, and many producers are keen to continue to take advantage of nature-based economies to help protect them. However, it is not clear in the northern rangelands as to what management strategies would make most impact in terms of biodiversity or where these strategies should/could take place. This project is a collaboration between CDU, CSIRO and the pastoral industry and focuses on rangelands of the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia. The PhD student will be supervised by an interdisciplinary team of agricultural scientists, economists and ecologists, giving exposure to the networks, knowledge and resources of both organisations. The PhD will use information about the impacts of cattle production on threatened species to identify strategies (e.g. exclusion fencing, waterpoint management, etc.) that are most effective at protecting and enhancing natural values, including biodiversity. The student will also conduct economic analyses to understand the cost and potential return from nature-based markets and any other economic benefits (e.g. increase in productivity).
