What is land management and why is it a problem?

Land management is the way that we manage the use and 

development of the land in both rural (out back or country side) 

and urban (towns and cities) areas.

The resources of the land can be used in many different ways such 

as organic agriculture (natural farming), reforestation (re planting a 

forest) Eco-tourism projects (this is when people travel to natural 

and remote areas to conserve the environment and improve the 

health and living standards the of local people)

The issue with using the resources of the land is that we have to 

manage the amount that we take, because some resources are not 

reusable and will die out. This is when Land management comes 

into practice. 

How does land management effect people and the 

Australian environment?  Some of the effects on the land 

include: Land degradation (when different sources create damage 

to the land. Some include extreme weather conditions especially 

drought. As well as things that people do that lower the quality of 

the soil and how much the soil can be used, effected the food 

production, animals that live in that area and the provision and 

production of other ecosystem in that area.)

Erosion (when somethings wears away over time from different 

factors that could include human impacts on the environment or 

weather conditions. 

Decreased water quality

Salinity (how salty or the amount of dissolved salt in a body of 

water, and also in the land)

Decreased biodiversity (decreased amount of variety of plants and 

animals in a certain environment). Also with the introduction of 

new animals they are causing damage to the land and endangering 

native species
