Building the Resilience of Landscapes and Communities
In Regional and Remote Areas
“Landscapes are full of patterns. Patterns in vegetation, soil, geology and water. There are also patterns in people, how we live, where we live and how we connect. Our lifestyles and livelihoods can change those patterns…sometimes for the good……other times not. Then we have climate change and natural disasters – they disrupt these patterns and cause much grief. More than ever, we need to work within the capacity of our landscapes”
- Matt McIntyre, Planning 4 Sustainable Development
We target landscape approaches in our focus areas to help with change to urban, land, and rural development for better returns and outcomes.

“I like to envision the whole world as a jigsaw puzzle… if you look at the whole picture, it is overwhelming and terrifying, but if you work on your little part of the jigsaw and know that people all over the world are working on their little bits, that’s what will give you hope.”
— Jane Goodall
