PROTECTING PRIVATE LAND MATTERS
In Victoria, 62% of the land is privately owned and 78% of the native vegetation on that land is rare or threatened.
Vast areas of natural habitats for native plants and animals, many unique to Victoria, are under threat from land clearing, overharvesting, changing climate and population growth. Without the land that provides their homes, species become extinct.
We urgently need to scale up efforts to protect, conserve and regenerate Victoria’s private land before it’s gone forever.

Practical solutions to fight climate change.
The science around climate change mitigation is clear: this is the decade that matters.
Nature is a vital key to reducing carbon emissions and solving the crisis.
Permanently protecting habitat on private land not only helps wildlife adapt, it helps mitigate climate change by preventing carbon from being released into the atmosphere. And by protecting at a landscape scale, we can prevent fragmentation and achieve resilience at the ecosystem level, providing nature the best chance to respond to climate shock.
