Gondwana Link
The Gondwana Link project is an exciting and ambitious landscape conservation project in south-west Western Australia.
Our aim is to repair some of the ecological damage inflicted by land clearning and unsustainable land management practices.
It is restoring and reconnecting fragmented habitats between the Stirling Range and the Fitzgerald River National Parks as Stage 1 of a larger plan. Ultimately, Gondwana Link will create an extensive belt of ecological linked native vegetation from the karri forests of the south-west to the Great Western Woodlands around Kalgoorlie.
The project is the first of its kind in Australia and leading the way in the conservation of rural landscapes. It brings together many partners with complementary skills that benefit the environment and local and regional communities.
The following Bush Heritage reserves contribute to Gondwana Link:
The reserves protected so far in the Gondwana Link corridor.
Bush Heritage is a major stakeholder in this initiative and is responsible for buying and protecting areas of remnant habitat. Some of our reserves also have areas of cleared land where revegetation work is re-establishing connections between the bushland.
The Gondwana Link project is a partnership between Bush Heritage and the following environmental organisations:
- Greening Australia
- Gondwana Link Coordination Unit
- The Nature Conservancy
- The Wilderness Society
- Fitzgerald Biosphere Group
- Friends of Fitzgerald River National Park
- The Malleefowl Preservation Group
