Repairing Australia’s inland river and groundwater systems

The Paper “Repairing Australia’s inland river and groundwater systems: nine priority actions, benefits and the finance gap,” published in the Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, has found that improving vegetation on less than 2% of Australia’s landmass could not only lead to a healthier environment and stronger communities, but would sequester enough carbon over the next 30 years to offset 37% of Australia’s net emissions. The paper is authored by nine, five of which are from the Wentworth Group.
