WildCountry Vision
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.

Northern Kaanju Traditional Owners and their guests gathered on traditional homelands in central Cape York Peninsula to share in the celebration of the Cape’s York Peninsula’s first Indigenous Protected Area.
WildCountry Tasmania is an exciting new approach to conservation of Tasmania’s unique and important landscapes. It aims to present a long-term blueprint for preserving biodiversity by maintaining critical ecological processes.
