Some of the most vital habitats for our state’s threatened species are under threat, and many are on private land. These are places across our state that desperately need to be protected. Places with habitats that are underrepresented in existing national parks and other protected areas. If these places are not protected, the vulnerable native species found in these habitats are at risk. The threat of habitat loss and extinction is looming over their heads.

With competing uses for land, the reality is we are losing woodland, grassland and wetland areas at an alarming rate. This loss of land is limiting the mobility and breeding opportunities of threatened birds and ground dwelling animals; our native grasslands are being lost; and wetlands that were once thriving ecosystems are drying out as a result of water-use and climate change; but together, we can make a difference.

The Bush Protection Program is funded by monthly donations and provides safety, security and stability for Victoria’s most vulnerable creatures by helping to increase the amount of protected land across Victoria. The ongoing support of Bush Protectors ensures that our endangered and threatened species can thrive in stable, secure homes.

Trust for Nature has a unique power in Victoria to protect nature through conservation covenants and with the support of Bush Protectors, can ensure greater patches of habitat are protected for future generations.
