A thriving landscape has a sound. It starts nestled in the roots of our arid grasses, with the crackle and scuttle of a Dusky Hopping-mouse or Kowari searching for food. And it extends to the sky, where our unique birdlife sing the world’s most ancient songs.
Biodiversity is a chorus in balance: measurable and meaningful.
As the threats of extreme weather continue to grow, and introduced predators further threaten vulnerable habitats, it's essential that we continue to respond to the call of a landscape in need.
Will you add your voice to the chorus and keep country healthy with a donation today?

At Pullen Pullen Reserve, Maiawali Country, western Queensland, Bush Heritage staff and researchers are following the sounds of a bird that was feared extinct a short number of years ago.
For almost six years Nick Leseberg has been studying the Night Parrots on Pullen Pullen for his PhD. He's seen this most elusive bird nearly a dozen times and shared why its survival is so important:
“How we respond to the rediscovery of the Night Parrot will be symbolic of the place biodiversity conservation has in Australian society.
We can demand that species such as the Night Parrot be recovered, or we can watch their steady decline continue until they’re gone.”
Brought back from the brink of extinction, native animals such as the Night Parrot and other irreplaceable species are at risk of being lost forever. You can ensure that their calls continue across our most fragile landscapes.
