TERN eNewsletter: Savanna burning to save carbon emissions

Url: 
http://www.tern.org.au/Newsletter-2012-Nov-SavannaCarbonEmissions-pg24310.html
The first savanna-burning project was approved early this month under the federal government’s Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI). It is estimated that the project could generate up to 20,000 Australian carbon credit units each year. In order to determine the precise number of credits, satellite imagery of the region is used by AusCover to determine fire area and intensity of fires. (November, 2012)

Management Project - Fish River Fire Project

The Clean Energy Regulator has approved a savanna burning regime at Fish River under the Carbon Farming Initiative.

The methodology reduces total greenhouse gas emissions from the property, benefiting the environment and potentially earning an income stream from carbon credits for Traditional Owners.

By using methods that draw on Indigenous pattern burning and science, the area of land that had been historically burnt each year by wildfires has been reduced from 69% to 3% of the property.
