In Tasmania, one fourth-generation merino wool farmer is interweaving agriculture with ecology. Julian von Bibra, whose family has tended to the same land for generations, embodies a growing movement among growers who recognize that preserving what\u2019s left of their land\u2019s natural heritage \u2014 from safeguarding precious native grasslands to monitoring threatened animal species \u2014 will be integral to ensuring a resilient future for generations to come.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julian von Bibra\u2019s family has been farming the same land in Tasmania, an island off the southern tip of Australia, for four generations. Von Bibra grew up watching his parents raise sheep on the land, and though they never pressured him to follow in their footsteps, he felt an \u201cenormous sense of connection to our community, to our land and to growing merino wool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was that sense of connection that spurred him to start looking for ways to turn the farm, called Beaufront, in an increasingly ecologically-minded direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though von Bibra feels proud of his farming business, which includes grains, pharmaceutical poppies and cattle alongside a flock of Responsible Wool Standard certified merino sheep, he\u2019s also honest about the ways that the introduction of European agriculture has wreaked havoc on people and landscapes in Tasmanian history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to settlers\u2019 \u201cvery dark past\u201d of violence against Aboriginal Tasmanians, their approach to farming over the last 200 years has altered local landscapes by clearing trees, introducing fertilizer, replacing native grasslands with perennial non-native grasses, overgrazing the land and fragmenting crucial habitat. But von Bibra believes that the power that today\u2019s farmers yield on the land can be channeled into practices that are not just less harmful, but actively helpful in protecting biodiversity in Tasmania today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are areas of these native grasslands that still exist, and so they become very precious,\u201d he explains on the phone one cool June morning. \u201cThey\u2019re [almost] all privately held, which means farmers in our region have a role in ensuring that we don\u2019t lose them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Von Bibra is trying to take that responsibility seriously on his own land and encourage his neighbors to do the same: He and his wife Annabel have put 40 percent of their property into some form of reserve. \u201cWe need to take responsibility as land managers, not just for our annual profitability, but in making sure we don\u2019t erode our natural capital,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s that juggle between running an agricultural business, and not losing all our biodiversity, as this wealth of native grasslands is unique and needs protecting. Getting that balance right is a real challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Harnessing partnership for land restoration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To help tackle that challenge, von Bibra has enlisted the help of a handful of local community, non-profit and university partners. The farm has experienced \u201csmall wins\u201d in the form of partnering with local Aboriginal community groups to re-introduce cultural burning onto parts of the land, though von Bibra notes that it\u2019s a \u201cwork in progress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the early shepherds used to try and mimic Indigenous practices and probably got it wrong. We\u2019re picking up the pieces of a culture that is not well documented or understood, and trying to adapt modern farming techniques around that,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of loss, a lot of hardship and a lot of pain. We have to firstly acknowledge that, and then respect the existing members of the community and try to re-engage with them \u2014 it\u2019s a delicate task.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most significant partnerships on the land is a program called the Midlands Conservation Partnership (MCP), a project of the non-profit Tasmanian Land Conservancy. The MCP works with farm owners in the area to protect and manage critically endangered native grasslands and increase biodiversity. Manager of the program Pierre Defourny explains that many of these grasslands actually benefit from moderate grazing, having co-evolved with native grazing marsupials like kangaroos and wallabies, which makes working with sheep farmers a natural fit. \u201cThese grasslands do need some kind of disturbance; you can\u2019t really just set them aside and forget them,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n

Taking part in the Midlands Conservation Partnership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On Beaufront, 750 hectares are currently under a conservation agreement with the MCP. It comes with certain restrictions about how the farmers manage the allotment \u2014 they can\u2019t clear or fertilize it, and they\u2019re obliged to treat and control weeds \u2014 but other than that, the agreement is mostly outcomes-driven, giving the land managers a fair bit of choice and agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are four key outcomes that Defourny and his colleagues look for to indicate that a farmer is managing a native grassland responsibly. The first is to see that the number of threatened animal species is being maintained or increasing \u2014 a crucial factor on an island like Tasmania, known as the home of species like the Tasmanian devil, which live nowhere else in the world. The second is for the diversity and cover of native plant species to remain stable or increase, while the third looks for the diversity and spread of introduced species to decrease. And finally, the MCP asks that every farmer it partners with report to the project about how they\u2019ve approached management on the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different farmers get involved for different reasons: smaller farmers might be drawn in by the financial incentives the MCP offers participants, while larger farmholders might be more interested in having a compelling sustainability story to tell their customers. For other farmers, Defourny theorizes, it\u2019s just good old fashioned peer pressure \u2014 with a positive spin \u2014 at play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just a conservation program. What we are really trying to do is create a community of farmers who are interested in conservation, and who care about it. We are trying to change a social norm in the region,\u201d Defourny explains. Von Bibra and two of his neighbors who have long been influential landowners in the community, and who were already more \u201cconservation-minded\u201d before the program started, he adds, helped \u201cconvince other farmers to join the program throughout the years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Sharing learnings with neighboring farms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The more neighbors involved, the better: Landscapes don\u2019t stop and start where property lines begin and end, so being able to work together with neighboring farmers to create unbroken conservation areas helps create wildlife corridors that are crucial for endemic species\u2019 survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if the Von Bibra\u2019s neighbors\u2019 are looking for more inspiration on how to prioritize the sustainability of the landscape without sacrificing their ability to run a working farm, there\u2019s plenty more where that came from. The pair have also carefully monitored the size of their sheep herd in drought years to make sure that the animals don\u2019t overburden the land with excessive grazing, planted shelterbelts to reduce wind erosion and provide more wildlife habitat, and partnered with a nearby university and WWF Australia to monitor a population of Eastern quolls, a species of adorable spotted marsupials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Von Bibra\u2019s convinced that not only is working toward conservation the right thing to do, it\u2019s the smart thing to do for any farmer that still wants their land to be viable for the next 200 years as climate change, market pressures and extreme weather continue to throw new challenges their way. \u201cThe world is changing, and we need to be adaptive and prepared to move with it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n
