Bring back the bush and help nature find its way home. If you take a walk through the Australian bush, you may notice something missing. The bush is looking bare. The trees are still there. The birds still sing. But in many places, the bush is thinner than it once was. Wildlife corridors have been broken. Habitats have shrunk. Places that were once alive with native plants and animals have become isolated patches struggling to survive.
That is why The Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife and environmental educator Costa Georgiadis are asking Australians to help Bring Back the Bush.
“You don’t need a botanist’s eye to see that the bush is looking bare,” says Costa.
Wildlife needs more than a few scattered trees. It needs shelter. It needs food. It needs connected landscapes where animals can move, breed and thrive. Healthy bushland is full of layers, colour and life. It is the kind of place where nature can truly flourish. The challenge facing Australia is significant. Thousands of native species are now threatened, and habitat loss remains one of the biggest dangers to wildlife. Yet there is also good news.
Nature is remarkably resilient.
When damaged land is restored, wildlife often returns. Native plants begin to grow again. Ecosystems slowly rebuild themselves. Across Australia, these recovery stories are already happening. These projects are helping to create safer homes for Australia’s unique wildlife and to strengthen ecosystems for the future.
The encouraging news is that everyone can help.
Bring Back the Bush is more than a conservation campaign. It is an invitation for all Australians to help restore the landscapes we love and protect them for future generations.
Together, we can help nature find its way home. The bush has always been resilient. Time and again, it has shown an extraordinary ability to recover. Now it needs our support.

The report looks at habitat restoration of the wildlife corridors for wombats, koalas and our waterways and habitats for frogs, lizards and our native birds. They are all part of our Australian heritage, and they need our help to protect them.
