The Jandra Nulty Regeneration project, located near the town of Bourke, in northwest New South Wales, is run by the Ridge family - whose lineage has lived on the land since the 1870s. Due to drought and economic recession this region, characterised by rich red earth and the mighty Darling River, was becoming increasingly threatened. By promoting sustainable farming practices such as the better management of livestock grazing and the installation of water infrastructure, the farming family tackles local degradation by promoting the regeneration of permanent native forests.
By spreading existing grazing more evenly and reducing pressure on areas of native forest, the project regenerates local ecosystems, which are home to unique Australian species, such as the endangered Greater Bilby (Macrotis lagotis), and the elusive nocturnal Night Parrot (Pezoporus occidentalis), which is rarely sighted in the wild. In addition, the project secures reliable income for a local farming family, who are passionate about preserving the central Australian outback.
