Once common on mainland South Australia, the Glossy Black-Cockatoo 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’re planting tens of thousands of  trees – a mixture of drooping she-oaks for food and eucalypts for future nesting hollows – in a bid to repopulate the mainland with the subspecies of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo found on Kangaroo Island.

We work with students and teachers to plant thousands of trees in schools and community spaces, creating shade and places to play for children, as well as creating critical habitat for our native animals. By donating to Greening Australia you can help Aussie kids learn about the environment, while they get their hands dirty planting trees.

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. 

Your donation helps us to restore nature in places like Glandore, on the Eyre Peninsula, where the critically endangered Sheoak Grassy woodlands are suffering from the impacts of land clearings, bushfires and invasive pests. We have a vision to restore 2,000 hectares of land at Glandore, connecting isolated ecosystems and providing habitat for our native animals. We’ve planted 700 hectares so far – your donation helps us to continue our vital work restoring Australian landscapes.
