WildCountry is the Wilderness Society's vision for the long-term health of the Australian continent. The WildCountry Vision is based on sound scientific findings that identify what nature needs to survive and prosper. It drives our campaigns and is applicable throughout landscape protection and restoration projects. WildCountry clearly shows the unique natural processes that drive our landscapes operate over great distances and long periods. This means we need to think big in planning future nature conservation in Australia.
