Great Southern Landscapes

We are working with hundreds of landholders and partners to create Australia’s biggest carbon sink and establish thousands of hectares of habitat across southern Australia.

2030 Goals

300,000

Hectares of habitat restored

450 million

Plants established

3 million

Tonnes of carbon sequestered per annum

Since European settlement, our agricultural landscapes in southern Australia have lost over 80% of their natural habitat, impacting on threatened species and the productivity of our farmlands.

To help threatened plants and wildlife, and combat global climate change, we are working across southern Australia’s unique landscapes, integrating large-scale re-afforestation and carbon sinks into farming systems to create healthy, productive landscapes for people and nature.
