“…Donohue et al (2009) In the 1980s, Australia's northern savannas, other than Kakadu National Park, lacked a coordinated fire and land cover mapping and monitoring program (Thackway and Olsen 1999). This was partly because there was little understanding of, or concern for, fire effects.…”

ABSTRACT. Environmental decision-makers are increasingly demanding detailed spatial coverages with high temporal frequency to assess trends and changes in the extent and condition of wetlands, species habitats, farmlands, forests, rangelands, soil, water, and vegetation. Dynamic land cover information can substantially meet these requirements. Access to satellite-based time series information provides an unprecedented opportunity to better focus natural resource management (NRM) in Australia. Opportunities include assessing the extent and condition of key assets, prioritizing investment in key localities and time periods, improving targeting of scarce public funding, and monitoring and evaluating the outcome of this investment to assist land managers in improving land management practices to meet wider community social, economic, and environmental goals. We illustrate how these key "decision points" can be enhanced by linking dynamic land cover information to a stepped "cycle" model. We use the stepped cycle model to present two case studies, the management of fire and soil erosion, which demonstrate the application of dynamic land cover information to improve NRM decision-making across three broad stakeholder groups (national, regional, local). We use the case studies to highlight how accurate dynamic land cover information has been used to improve the design and reporting of national NRM programs.

Compensation Payments for Downsides Generated by Protected Areas

Protected areas are powerful instruments to tackle the biodiversity crises. However, local communities believe that protected areas generate downsides for which they should be compensated. We reviewed (1) problem evolution, (2) the idea of compensation schemes, and (3) practical considerations. We found that compensations for conservation-related losses are insufficiently considered when protected areas are established. Schemes include controversial resettlements of human populations, traditional reimbursements, and recently favored incentive payments to encourage local communities to conserve biodiversity on their lands. The compensation process is typically composed of the verification of losses/facts, estimation of costs, and delivery of payments. Compensation schemes promote tolerance and awareness, and responsibility of the broader society while minimizing confrontations. They have the power to mainstream concern about human welfare in protected area management, and are therefore a key to successful conservation. Verifying the impact of compensations on achievement of conservation goals remains, however, difficult to prove.

“…The conservation of biodiversity in these parks was often incidental because the parks were mainly created for their natural beauty and recreational values and less frequently for the protection of threatened species (Thackway and Olsson 1999). Governments have now detennined, on behalf of society, that biodiversity conservation should be increased above current levels (Productivity Commission 2001) by creating more conservation reserves (Aretino, Holland et a!.…”

“…Both the 1992 National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development and the subsequent 1996 National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity (Department of Environment and Water Resources 1992) recognised the need for partnerships among all levels of government, industry and the community (Thackway and Olsson 1999). To ensure adequate representation of ecosystems in the process of conservation of biodiversity in Australia, protection needed to be on land of various tenure, and by both the public and private sectors (Productivity…”
