LAND BUY BACK SCHEME
In conjunction with the Foundation of National Parks & Wildlife (FNPW) our mission is to raise funds to help buy Australian land to grow our National Parks, ensuring our ecosystems are protected for generations to come.
PROTECTION FOR THE FUTURE
The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we grow and the parks we love to reconnect and relax in rely on thriving ecosystems and they are under threat, BUT the good news is we can help.
The ‘Land Buy Back’ scheme works to protect our National Parks for our future generations by buying land that surrounds existing National Parks. With the sole purpose of extending their footprint, the land is purchased, added to the national parks which is regenerated and co-managed with indigenous owners and custodians to support native species and ecosystems.
This supports Australia’s commitment to the UN’s 30x30
target to protect 30% of our land by 2030 under the Global Biodiversity Framework is ambitious, but possible and necessary.
We are currently sitting at 22.1%, so with your support let’s be a part of the change and help reach the target of 30%.
