“We did not inherit the land. We borrow it from our children.”

KACHANA - HEART OF THE KIMBERLEY
To understand the history of Kachana we need to go back a very long time. Suffice to say we inherited the custodianship of a desertifying environment fashioned by humans; a man made “brittle environment” in an area that Nature had designed to be largely “non-brittle”.
Our immediate challenge as resource managers is to stabilise our eroding resource base and to revitalise the landscape so that the area can meet our human demands. Our aim is a biologically healthy landscape gaining in biodiversity.The fundamental ecosystem processes at work in this landscape as well as our expectations need to be in tune with Nature’s original design.
