Saving Australia's Plants and Animals from Extinction

Coordinating nationally. Acting locally. Across landscapes. Beyond fences. So no species is left behind. 

 

We develop and implement threatened species recovery programs across entire landscapes, working on public and private land and beyond fences for all threatened species, especially the overlooked, creepy, crawly, slithery and slimy that underpin all life on earth.

 

From planning to boots-on-ground action, we unite land managers, First Nations people, scientists and local communities in hands-on collaborations that bring species back from the brink.

To coordinate and implement recovery programs for forgotten and imperilled species across Australia.

Working with partners, guided by the latest science and traditional ecological knowledge, we empower communities to act. 

Our Vision

A future where Australia’s unique plants and animals thrive, and extinction is a thing of the past.

Our Purpose

We connect and strengthen recovery efforts to save Australia's plants and animals from extinction. 

Coordinating nationally. Acting locally. Across landscapes. Beyond fences. So no species is left behind. 

We're in the midst of an extinction crisis, but we can turn this around
