HOW WE WORK

We work with local leadership, harness local knowledge and address local challenges.

We build strong partnerships

We collaborate with chiefs, leaders and local government so we become known and trusted providers.

We work with local knowledge

Our starting point is the community’s traditional cattle farming skills and knowledge.

We are collaborative

We help the community to create collaborative plans for grazing and fire management. People who graze their animals in line with the rangeland management plan get access to animal health services.

R

We ensure everyone benefits

We take a whole community approach – everybody needs to benefit to ensure everyone is invested in success.

We harness technology

We use digital systems in remote operating environments to monitor animal health records, assess fire management, monitor participation and report issues raised in community consultation.
