The Communications Team, on behalf of the Tropical Savannas CRC,
would like to wish all our readers a happy and safe Christmas and
New Year. The Centre officially closes its doors on December 31
after two incarnations, fourteen and a half years and 126 issues of
this newsletter.
While the Centre is ending, many of the initiatives it has been
involved in are continuing. In this issue you can read about how
the West Arnhem Land Fire Abatement Project is being highlighted
this week at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference and how the
NAFI website has delivered over half a million fire maps in the
last 10 weeks to fire managers from Broome to Brisbane, and that
its future, for the next couple of years is now assured.
Although the CRC will officially end in a couple of weeks, it
will take another three months for CEO David Garnett and Business
Manager Kieth Boakes to complete all reports and wind up the
finances. Between now and March 31 there will be at least one more
Topical Savannas with final updates which will include an update on
the Northern Ventures CRC bid.
