Project Story

Overview

This project, in the vast, remote Outback of Western Australia, lies within a Global Biodiversity Hotspot. It is also home to ancient rock art sites, and isolated communities working to grow food in a truly sustainable manner. Vast woodlands of mulga, a beautiful desert-adapted tree with silver leaves, store millions of tonnes of carbon. Spinifex grasses, growing on red sand dunes, provide shelter to innumerable small animals, and enormous ephemeral lake systems fill once every 10 years and attract tens of thousands of water birds.
Overview

Shared Earth Landscapes

Aboriginal storylines are woven through the landscape, and deep, spiritual connections still exist for many of the Indigenous people. Alongside that, early settler history is rich and fascinating. Together, they form the shared human history of the landscape.

Forever Wild now manages an area of over 2,250 square kilometres and is co-designing a much larger area with the local community. Across this landscape, the remarkable habitats, carbon stores, and cultural heritage will be forever protected.
