Protecting Australia’s Nature

From the tropical north to the red centre and the surrounding oceans, Australia is one of the wildest and most intact places on Earth.

The Pew Charitable Trusts works in partnership with local communities and science research, conservation and land management organisations to secure long-term protection and hands-on stewardship of Australia’s Outback. Our work traverses the continent and extends to the nation’s diverse seas.
