Problem Solving
Currently, the Australian Government is facing the issue with the help of Natural Resource Management Groups such as Landcare Australia. The Governments introduced many different programs in an attempt to treat land degradation, however most of the Government's funding and time has been spent on salinity in Australia as it is one of the major problems in Australia. Programs such as National Dryland Salinity Program were initiated a decade ago. More recently, the government has introduced the Natural Landcare Program which is a AU$2 Billion investment against land degradation and other environmental issues in Australia however little focus have been placed on land degradation in Australia. The actions taken by the government that directly dealt with salinity will be examined and evaluated. The programs that will be evaluated are the National Dryland Salinity Program (NDSP) and the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality in Australia (NAP)
