Landcare Movement

The Landcare Movement is a grassroots initiative that encourages local communities to take action in caring for the environment, particularly in rural areas. It promotes sustainable land management practices to conserve natural resources, improve biodiversity, and enhance agricultural productivity. Originating in Australia in the 1980s, the movement involves collaboration among farmers, community members, and government agencies. Participants engage in activities such as tree planting, soil restoration, and wildlife protection. The goal is to foster a sense of stewardship towards the land, ensuring its health for future generations while also addressing challenges like climate change and land degradation.
