Land and Forests
Australia's forests and landscapes are some of the richest and most diverse in the world. From the lush tropical rainforests in our north to the delicate Southwest Australia Ecoregion, WWF-Australia is working to conserve our native vegetation for future generations.
Our programs aim to eradicate land clearing - the greatest single threat to species in Australia - and reduce the effects of salinity and introduced species on our environment. Together with Australian communities, we are also aiming to expand protected areas and ensure our land is well managed for the future.
