Groups aim to buy 1,000km nature strip
17 Apr 2007
Conservation groups in Western Australia have embarked on an unprecedented multi-million dollar buying spree, aiming to turn farms and bush into a 1,000 kilometre nature strip up to 2 kilometres wide stretching from the south-west to the edge of Kalgoolie. Non-government conservation agencies Greening Australia and Bush Heritage Australia have joined forces with the international charity The Nature Conservancy to raise millions of dollars for the Gondwana Link land buyback. Five landholders including farmers have sold properties into the ecological project, which aims to safeguard remaining strips of bush and return farms to their natural state.
