WildCountry Vision

spacer
 Protecting the future.
We want our children to inherit a safe environment and a diverse, healthy and living world. We believe life on Earth should have a secure future. The WildCountry vision is a "forever plan" for Australia's environment. It combines cutting-edge science from leading academics, with 30 years of campaign experience from The Wilderness Society. The result is a move beyond saving nature one species and one wild place at a time, towards the most audacious, big-picture, long-term solution we could envisage.
A new vision for nature
