When it comes to restoring and protecting healthy Country, our volunteers make a huge contribution that's worth celebrating. 

After an incredible 18-year journey, working closely with Warddeken Land Management to help protect Country our formal partnership has come to an end. 

With heavy rain and floods in Queensland and northern New South Wales last week, many staff have been impacted, but thankfully everyone is safe and in good spirits.

In October last year, I visited Quebec, Canada for the fourth Global Congress of the International Land Conservation Network (ILCN) to share my experiences and learn from others. In support of the theme ‘Relationships for a resilient world’, First Nations, culturally led conservation was at the forefront of the agenda. 

Join us to celebrate the launch of the children’s book Honey Possum’s Bush Café, the latest from Rabbit-Free Australia’s Easter Bilby’s Friends series.  

Often, when we think of a conservation not-for-profit, we envisage people in boots and hats planting trees and pulling weeds. What we don't think of are the people that answer the phones, design the newsletters, take social media photos, or handle mail and process donations.

Banded vegetation, with its intriguing ‘tiger stripe’ patterns of bare and vegetated ground, is a striking feature of arid landscapes worldwide. And guess what? These vegetation systems are thriving on Boolcoomatta Reserve!

When Ross Mitchell, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Manager at Bush Heritage, first set foot on Nil Desperandum on Budjiti Country he knew immediately how significant it would be if the Traditional Custodians could return to this Country and work with Bush Heritage to restore the land.

As part of the Seeding the Future Program, I undertook a PhD Internship with Bush Heritage Australia to study the changes in soil properties in response to destocking on Bon Bon Station Reserve, Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatjara Country.

When Lola Lange presents her research on the Pink Cockatoo (Lophochroa leadbeateri), she always delivers one jaw-dropping statement: there has been no research to date on the bird in Queensland… barely anything is known about the species.

We gratefully acknowledge Djaara (the Dja Dja Wurrung people), the Traditional Custodians of Djandak (Dja Dja Wurrung Country) in central Victoria, for over 14 years of partnership.

When Bruce Hammond first laid eyes on the Breakaways at Evelyn Downs, he saw an opportunity to support the protection of one of the most significant parcels of Country for Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatjara and Yankunytjatjara people. 

This year, at Eurardy Reserve on Nanda Country in mid-north Western Australia, we led an innovative project to restore the iconic understorey of annual wildflowers.

Conservation Futures is a collaboration across sectors and organisations towards the concept of an ‘Integrated Knowledge System’, where knowledge of Country and landscapes can be securely stored.
