On a 5,000-hectare grazing property near Caval Ridge Mine, local agistees are using regenerative grazing to control erosion, build drought resilience and improve soil health.

Graziers are showing that well-managed brigalow improves soil, stores carbon and supports wildlife. The work also produced the first formal DNA sequencing of the endangered Ornamental Snake.

The Barada Barna Seed Production Initiative has seen more than $4 million invested in native seed from Bargala Nanhi, a 100 per cent Barada Barna-owned enterprise, to rehabilitate mine sites across the Bowen Basin.
