Improving Human Impacts

Improving Human Impacts

      The best way we can reduce negative human impact in the ecoregion is to combat destruction that results from agriculture. Australia has the least fertile soils of any continent on earth, so widespread farming in this region is not a responsible practice to continue. Globalization of the world markets can work to solve this issue; crops that can be cultivated more efficiently in other parts of the world should be imported to Australia rather than grown in these fragile and relatively non-fertile regions. For certain agricultural goods that cannot be easily imported, farmers should look to practice more sustainable farming techniques and to avoid further habitat destruction resulting from cleared lands. With these solution in mind, we must be wary of the consequences of globalization. Extra care should be taken to ensure that new non-native species are not allowed to colonize in the region.
