Methane abatement and carbon storage through improved kangaroo management.

AWS has done a report for Agrifutures on how outcome-focused kangaroo management could reduce GHG emissions and increase on-farm productivity. It evaluates the opportunity for integrating grazing of kangaroos into pastoral enterprises to help Australia meet its Paris Agreement targets while increasing the value of kangaroos in the hands of graziers.

We identify that income lost by reducing the impact of livestock could be recouped through increasing the value of kangaroo harvested, credits for emissions reduction and for soil carbon sequestration, plus payments nature repair and biodiversity stewardship. Key points following and an ANU press release is attached.  The full report can be downloaded at Methane abatement and carbon storage through improved kangaroo management
