Help build them a home

Your donation will help connect fragmented vegetation and create habitat for our threatened species.

For our native wildlife, it’s more than a tree. It’s a place to call home.

Help us tackle Australia’s biggest environmental challenges – climate change and biodiversity loss. Your donation will restore degraded land, build habitat, and create homes for our threatened plants and animals.

In the past year alone, we’ve achieved incredible milestones:

Planted over 4 million native trees to restore our ecosystems
Established 3,792 hectares of crucial habitat
Supplied more than 7 tonnes of native seed to support biodiversity
Prevented a staggering 12,742 tonnes of pollutants from reaching the Great Barrier Reef

But there’s still so much more we need to do. In 2024 we want to go bigger than we ever have to protect habitat across Australia. Please donate today.

All gifts over $2 are tax deductible.

$350 can restore Eastern Quoll habitat in Tasmania

Tasmania’s isolation has made it a refuge for the iconic Eastern Quoll which is considered extinct on the mainland. Sadly, their population is now in decline in Tasmania too. We are working to restore 15,000 hectares across the extensively cleared Tasmanian Midlands by 2030, creating biodiverse corridors for threatened species like the Eastern Quoll.

$550 can restore habitat for the Glossy Black-Cockatoo

Once common on mainland South Australia, Glossy Black-Cockatoos are now locally extinct due to large-scale land clearing. However, on nearby Kangaroo Island there is a healthy population that could recolonise the mainland. We are working to restore 170ha of suitable sheoak woodland feeding habitat to bring the Glossy Black-Cockatoo back to the mainland.

$1,000 can reconnect fragmented Malleefowl habitat

Once widespread across Victoria’s Mallee Catchment, Malleefowl numbers have greatly declined due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Small populations of these birds exist in isolated areas and are unable to move between suitable habitat patches. We’ve established 406 hectares of habitat to support Malleefowl.

$5,500 can improve the Great Barrier Reef

We’ve been working hard to rebuild eroding gullies and restore coastal wetlands across the catchment to address the Reef’s two greatest threats: climate change and poor water quality. Help us stop 1000’s of tonnes of sediment from reaching the Great Barrier Reef, saving turtles, dugongs, coral and fish.

A word from our CEO:

I want to share with you my first official day as the new CEO of Greening Australia.

It was this last July. The day started very early, with the winter sun low in the Victorian sky as I arrived at a restoration site at Limeburners Lagoon, on Wadawurrung Country, just outside of Geelong. And in those first few minutes after I stepped out of the car and made my way to a Greening Australia planting site, I was struck by how much life there was around me.

The whole area, from those mangroves on the shore, to the surrounding trees and grasslands is a haven for birds of all kinds – cormorants, egrets, wrens, parrots – who during the day find food and nest, and at night settle down to roost. Some of the birds had no doubt been awake since before sunrise, their calls punctuating the still morning as the rest of us were still waking up to get on with our day.

The lagoon is part of Port Phillip Bay, and amongst the mangroves that line parts of the shore were fish – their swimming creating an occasional ripple across the water as they chased their next meal.

Limeburners Lagoon is somewhere nature can thrive – a place that native animals can call ‘home’.

I was joining some of our dedicated supporters who, like you, know how important it is to look after our native plants and animals. They know that our families, communities, livelihoods, and collective wellbeing all depend on the health of our environment, and they see the value of taking practical action to restore and rejuvenate our precious Australian natural environment. And on that July morning, that’s what we were there to do.

We were there to restore some of what we’ve lost and create a place for our wildlife to call home.

Restoring lost habitat is one of the leading, practical actions we can take to ensure the survival of our plants and animals.

Please consider donating generously this year so we can plant millions of native trees, shrubs, and grasses across Australia, and create homes for our wildlife.

I wish you and those you care about a safe and happy festive season and thank you for your support!

Heather Campbell

CEO, Greening Australia
