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.
We ensure everyone benefits
We take a whole community approach – everybody needs to benefit to ensure everyone is invested in success.
We use technology
We use digital systems in a remote operating environment to monitor animal health records, assess fire management, monitor participation and report issues raised in community consultation.
