It is one of the richest areas on the planet for biodiversity. To a biologist like me, this is the nearest place to heaven on earth ... Gondwana Link is a fantastic program in the scale of its ambition, and the notion of trying to connect and restore from the south-west forests to the Great Western Woodlands is a very powerful idea.

Reconnected, resilient country and communities, from the wet forests of the south-west to the semi-arid woodland and mallee bordering the Nullarbor, in which ecosystem function and biodiversity are restored and maintained.
"Fire is a part of us, we are a part of it", says Elder Uncle Eugene Eades. It has been a long time since the Goreng and Menang people of the Great Southern gave fire back to Country in the Noongar way. Gondwana Link’s Jim Underwood describes his experience as a non-Aboriginal member of a collaborative team that has supported a recent cultural burn on Country.
For several years the Ngadju Rangers have been setting up remote cameras to monitor what’s happening when they aren’t there. The rangers have used them to monitor whether malleefowl are using a nest, what animals are using a water source, who lives in hollow logs, and what animals are visiting the recently burnt country.
Through a partnership with Greening Australia and Woodside, the Nowanup Rangers undertook accredited training in native seed collection. A short video tells this story.
Bill and Jane Thompson always wanted to be active participants in a large conservation project so they moved from Queensland and bought “Yarraweyah Falls”, a 1500 ha property in central Gondwana Link.
