Objectives Australian Govt-Ninti One contract targets:
1. Protect identified refuges for biodiversity in northern and remote Australia by reducing density of camels in ‘surrounding areas’ to <0.1 animals/sq km.
2. Protect high priority non-Ramsar high conservation value aquatic ecosystems.
3. Improve soil management on pastoral properties.

Improvement
• No individual has all of the questions or answers, seek many experts!
• Environmental monitoring timeframes will always be tight, work with it
• Continual collaboration building • Seek enduring benefit where possible, not
just project specific monitoring
