Local Impact, Global Responsibility: Australia at the Heart of our Shared Future

Local Impact, Global Responsibility: Australia at the Heart of our Shared Future

Australia is home to some of the most unique and fragile ecosystems on Earth, making its biodiversity essential for local landscapes *and* for global climate stability and resilience. Bush Heritage Australia and other partners are demonstrating how rewilding at scale—through science, Indigenous knowledge, and long-term collaboration—can restore degraded ecosystems, protect species, and strengthen planetary systems. Despite its global importance, Australia receives limited conservation funding, highlighting the urgent need for international investment, partnerships, and solidarity. Protecting and restoring Australia’s wild places is not simply a national priority but a global responsibility, with ripple effects that shape the future of people, nature, and climate worldwide. By learning, sharing, and investing in these rewilding initiatives, we can all play a part in protecting Australia’s wild legacy—and in turn, safeguarding our shared future.

Rewilding Together – Stories from the Field

Rewilding Together – Stories from the Field

Together with our Alliance Partners, we have listened to people. We have listened to: farmers and fishers who are seeing the abundance return in their lands and waters; landowners, neighbours and volunteers that are witnessing the joy of nature’s recovery; and many people working together for a wilder world. We have brought these voices together into a visual document – Rewilding Together; Stories from the Field – and now we will let them speak for themselves.

Rewilding in the Wake of Civil War: Maputo National Park

Rewilding in the Wake of Civil War: Maputo National Park

In the far south of Mozambique, on sub-Saharan Africa’s east coast, lies a designated area known as Maputo National Park. Combining protected land with a marine reserve, and sitting within a landscape-scale transboundary conservation project, it exemplifies the holistic approach that is needed to address the global biodiversity crisis. It has also been the site, during the past couple of decades, for one of the more remarkable cases of nature’s revival – a story of healing in the wake of war.

Rewilding Jaguars in Argentina: From Individuals to Ecosystems

Rewilding Jaguars in Argentina: From Individuals to Ecosystems

Partner Organisation: Rewilding Argentina
Location: Argentina, South America
While the rewilding movement is operating on a truly global scale, it is good to remind ourselves that the interconnected whole is one that comprises individuals. Rewilding, after all, is built on the reinvigoration of individual ecosystems. The saving of individual species. And, in Argentina, for instance, the reintroduction of individual jaguars.
