Case Study: 'The Great Southern Sanctuary'

We have already started working towards our WildCountry vision in Victoria. The Great Southern Sanctuary is an ambitious program to protect and restore nature in western Victoria, southern NSW and eastern South Australia.

The project aims to:

Protect - Cobboboonee forests in the south, red gun wetlands and mallee woodlands in the north;

Reconnect - Collaborate with Greening Australia's 'Habitat 141' program to replant areas to create wildlife corridors between National Parks;

Remove - Logging from red gum wetlands and weeds such as salinity pasture grasses;

Restore - Push government to implement bushfire management which protects people, property and wildlife. And return environmental flows into rivers.
