Rangelands 2008 — Taking the pulse

Photo by Richard Fisher

Rangelands 2008 — Taking the pulse, is the first time that disparate datasets have been brought together at a national and regional scale to report change in Australia's rangelands. The rangelands cover some 81% of Australia and are popularly known as 'the outback'.

The hard copy version of Rangelands 2008 — Taking the pulse includes a CD with a hypertext-linked version of the complete report plus summarised information for each of the 52 bioregions wholly or partly within the rangelands. Copies can be ordered from Land and Water Australia.

The Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts has published a booklet entitled Australia's Rangelands 2008 — At a Glance which provides highlights from the complete report as well as the CD above. To download the PDFs of these publication visit DEWHA or to order contact:
