Two booklets and a brochure on how the TS-CRC defines healthy landscapes are available. The publications stem from workshops, held in late 1999 by the TS-CRC, on developing measures and attributes to define the health of Australia's savannas. This new way of looking at landscapes aims to involve the whole range of savanna land users in managing for healthy country. The TS-CRC canvassed a wide range of people—both landholders and scientists—to develop the definition.
