cattle grazing also generates conservation outcomes. In other
words, “you don’t have land that is healthier fromtotal exclusion of
grazing; land is being conserved through the management regime.
A healthy ecosystem for cattle is a healthy complete ecosystem”
(NR15-p). That is:
“we’ve got to grow grass first, then you can have cattle. But if
you’re not growing grass, you’re not going to go very far. It’s
pretty simple” (DU17-p).
Ultimately:
“if I don’t manage it wisely, well, it’s going to come back to bite
me, that’s what it comes down to” (DU21-p).
Production respondents did not believe that their land
management practices were contradictory to conservation prac-
tices. Fundamentally it “depends on what you call ‘conserve’,do
you want to conserve a piece of land as just a bit of a jungle, or do
you want to see it as a productive, viable piece of land?” (DU17-p).
Respondents within the desert and rangeland areas believed that
“there are two ways to kill land: one is to flog it which is less likely
to kill it because plant species can survive, and other is to lock it up,
which is the fastest way to kill it [because] a wildfire can rip
through and kill off species” (NR15-p). Therefore, “locking land up
is not managing the country properly” (DU25-p).
