The implications of climate change on the iconic Torres Strait Island ecosystems could see whole islands inundated by rising water levels, the Torres Strait Regional Authority has warned.

Terrain Natural Resource Management, based in Innisfail, has been working closely with Biocarbon Pty Ltd since 2007 to pilot the joint Degree Celsius terrestrial carbon initiative. This project, recently recognised by the Eureka Prize for Innovative Solutions to Climate Change, has provided a framework for land managers to participate in aggregated regional biocarbon pools. 

The Queensland Landcare Conference runs from Thursday 15 to Saturday 17 October 2009 and will showcase land and water management practices involving everything from water wise gardens, the control of woody and exotic weeds, to feral animal control and the rehabilitation of our natural water courses.

The Conference Program consists of plenary sessions with keynote presentations by well known industry representatives, field trips and has an extensive social program designed to incorporate everything the conference theme entails: Legends, Larrikins and Landcare.

We look forward to your participation and contribution to Landcare in Longreach.
