For generations, an abundance of natural resources has delivered prosperity to the people of Western Australia and Australia more broadly. Beyond oil, gas, and minerals, these natural resources include our landscapes and the water, soil, plants, and animals that make Western Australia what it is. 

Western Australia has a unique environment, with unique flora and fauna on a scale and diversity not seen anywhere else on earth, as recognised by UNESCO. Maintaining and protecting this biodiversity is central to the economic and social prosperity of WA and its residents.

Western Australia's unique environment also supports diverse, vibrant, and critically important pastoral, agricultural, and farming communities that contribute directly to the economic and social fabric of the state and the nation.

Natural Resource Management (NRM) involves an integrated approach to managing these resources for the benefit of current and future generations.

For the past 25 years, the seven Natural Resource Managers (NNRMs) in WA have worked with local communities and traditional owners to identify and address environmental issues that limit WA's environmental, economic and social prosperity within their regions. 

Established in 2024, NRMWA addresses state-level and landscape-scale issues that span regional boundaries. Biodiversity is the highest priority, encouraging an environment that supports regenerative agriculture and sustainable pastoralism and farming.
