The Australian Collaborative Rangelands Information System

The Australian Collaborative Rangeland Information System (ACRIS) is a coordinating mechanism that collates rangeland information from state, Northern Territory and Australian Government agencies and other sources. The ACRIS Management Committee has representatives of Australian, state and territory governments and a management unit co-located with the Desert Knowledge CRC. ACRIS reports to the Audit Advisory Council on issues of information, and Natural Resource Programs and Policy Committee on issues of policy.
