Research using archived literature showed that in 1884 the NSW TSR network comprised 4,413,728\u2005ha. Comparisons of TSR acreage from that time with present estimates revealed that the\u00a0reserve\u00a0network has declined by 54% since its inception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technological changes in transport, environmental pressures and economic changes in the grazing industry were identified as key drivers of TSR loss. These findings support concerns over the efficacy of the TSR\u00a0reserve\u00a0network, where the extent and impacts of past government decisions to sell off TSRs has been grossly under-estimated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full article can be accessed <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"here  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/00049182.2019.1682321\" target=\"_blank\">here <\/a>(with a subscription), or contact <a href=\"mailto:pspooner@csu.edu.au\">Peter Spooner<\/a> directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new article by Peter Spooner and colleagues at Charles Sturt University, titled \u201cThe New South Wales Travelling Stock Route and Reserve (TSR) network: Historical extent, spatial distribution and drivers of loss 1884\u20132017\u201d, has been published in the Australian Geographer journal.
