We can achieve a nature-positive world where all species thrive

We all know the challenges that the globe is facing. Our climate is changing and we have continued, as a species, to impact the habitat of so many other species. From the devastation of the Black Summer to the floods in Eastern Australia and the Kimberley. From the droughts and fires in California to now the storms resulting in landslides and floods. This is a common story of extreme ‘droughts and flooding rains’ across the globe. At the same time that storms are becoming more intense we continue to negatively impact upon the habitat of our native species. Whether this be through land clearing or the challenges of feral animals and weeds.

But there is HOPE! We can collectively change this trajectory and deliver a nature-positive world. Working together as individuals, corporations, not-for-profits, governments and society more generally we can move species further away from extinction towards a thriving planet. At Bush Heritage Australia we play our part by being a unified force for nature, grounded in science and culture to nurture all land for all life. Over the past 30 years of being active land managers doing our day to day work of fire, feral animal and weed management at a landscape scale we have achieved some really positive impact. We are seeing tiny honey and pygmy possums return to revegetated areas of south west Western Australia, the elusive Night Parrot protected in Queensland, the most ancient of birds the Plains Wanderer thrive in South Australia and a tiny Red-finned Blue-eye fish thriving in springs at our Edgbaston reserve in Queensland.
