Carbon farming could be an exciting new opportunity for the land and people of WA’s Outback.

It would help restore our landscapes, create more habitat for wildlife and help fight climate change while providing new jobs and income for pastoralists and remote communities.

Carbon farming is already transforming parts of WA’s Wheatbelt, but across the rest of WA (which is 90% of our state and regarded as ‘Outback’) carbon farming isn’t allowed.

It’s great that the WA Government has indicated positive support for carbon farming, but it should now be a top priority to reform our outdated laws, develop the necessary policy, and allow land managers to get on with the job.

Carbon farming in the Outback would be a win for people, nature, jobs and our climate.

Please let me know what you’re going to do.
