Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference paperConference paper

Abstract

Positively influencing the grazing distribution of livestock will have benefits to productivity and landscape function. A behaviour-based approach, termed Rangelands Self Herding (RSH), is being tested and explored across locations in the Western Australian rangelands. RSH draws on a wealth of scientific research with seven guiding principles. Practical tools and tactics are being implemented
that are locally adapted to suit the environmental conditions and management goals of each situation. RSH is improving the way livestock use the landscape and interact with humans.
