Visionary Project to Heal Australia’s Biodiversity Hotspot - Gondwana Link Launch

17 April 2007

Gondwana Link is an ambitious ecological program which aims to protect, manage and restore bushland in a 1000 kilometre arc of bushland in the south-west of Australia.  This bushland stretches from the wet karri forests of the south west to the woodlands and mallee on the edge of the Nullarbor. On 17 April 2007, Gondwana Link celebrated the purchase of Peniup and Monjebup reserves, adding to the 6000 hectares protected under this program.
