Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: An ecologically-challenged world needs resource stewardship tactics that truly engage community custodians and respond to their needs. Landcare, a conservation ethic and movement born in 1980s Australia, and now in 18 countries on five continents, drives community-level economic, social, and conservation action linked across whole landscapes. Landcare initiatives are as varied as local habitats and traditions, but universally foster a common culture of self-help and sustainability. Local crisis often spawns grassroots ingenuity, strengthens community bonds and skills, and generates modest seed funding. Branding leverages funding to grow and sustain projects with public-private partnership support—86% of all Australians recognize the Landcare logo. Watersheds are the typical unifying scale, linking initiatives across a region. Improved conservation practices are shared across broad Landcare networks and reinforced by public recognition. As a mark of extension success, Landcare-disseminated conservation techniques have been adopted by 75% of Australian farmers, well beyond the 40% that were actual Landcare members. We will outline Landcare success in Australia and its spread over the past decade to South Africa, the Philippines, New Zealand, Germany, Iceland, and recently the U.S., Pacific Islands, East Africa, and elsewhere. The role of Landcare International and other facilitative networks also will be covered.
