Australia truly is the lucky country. Our bush, forests and deserts are amongst the most beautiful on Earth. Our oceans are vast and pristine, and our soil is some of the oldest and most fertile on the planet.
The 'Australian lifestyle' is dependent on access to healthy food, clean water, fresh air, and beautiful natural surroundings. While government has a role in protecting wilderness, it's up to all of us to recognise and promote nature in our day-to-day lives.
The Wilderness Society is an independent, non-profit organisation working together with people from all walks of life to protect some of our most precious - and most threatened - wild places from destruction.
