Forever Wild: Cape York Fire Management

This registry covers the 2200ha Cape York property, with approximately one quarter (~550ha) managed using fire management practices each year. Therefore the registry will cover 550 units, with a value of 1ha of land under management per unit. An important element of this management is to protect the property from wildfire that could wipe out the Northern Quoll. Wildfire would also result in the deaths of tens of thousands of other animals, and can fundamentally alter habitats by destroying logs, critical ground cover and by killing plants that have adapted to tolerate ‘cooler’ fires.
