Description of  Bush Heritage Australia: Restoring Nature Step by Step

With a plan to own or manage one per cent of Australia by 2025, Bush Heritage Australia is an organisation with big ambitions. Started by Bob Brown in 1991, Bush Heritage was born from an urgent mission: to protect pristine land from logging. After buying two blocks of land in Tasmanias Liffey Valley, Brown built a philanthropic organization to help pay for them. As donations flowed in and the organization grew, Bush Heritage set its sights on acquiring tracts of land across the country, repairing environmental degradation and bringing native plants and wildlife back to health. Twenty-five years later, with more than one million hectares in its care, Bush Heritages achievements are celebrated in this book along with its growth from humble beginnings into a large non-profit with benefactors all over the world.
