Karijini National Park in the west Pilbara region, a small part of vast wild landscapes in WA. The largest state in Australia also has the most wild country. From the fantastic landscapes of the Kimberley, to one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots in the south west botanical province, WA contains some of the best of planet Earth. Australia’s biggest woodland is the incredibly diverse Great Western Woodlands, stretching from the rabbit-proof fence to the Nullarbor. Our Perth office is working to protect this global treasure. We helped protect the old growth forests of the south coast, and now we want to help connect them, across a thousand kilometres, to the Great Western Woodlands through the ambitious, multi-group effort of Gondwana Link.
The Kimberley region of northern WA is one of the world’s great natural and Indigenous cultural regions - vast savannah landscapes, wild rivers, extensive wetlands, spectacular coast and rich marine environments.
