Leading Biodiversity Repair: Australia's Unique Position.
Australia is one of the most biologically diverse countries, home to some of the most extraordinary species and unique natural places on the planet.
However, Australia's biodiversity is under threat, with habitat destruction, invasive species, and climate change driving the decline of native species and ecosystems.
The decline of Australia's biodiversity is a source of systemic risk for the economy, society, business and government. Prioritising nature in decision-making is essential to tackling the drivers of environmental decline and creating circumstances in which nature can regenerate and repair.
“97%* of Australians want more action to conserve biodiversity and consider that everyone has a responsibility to act.”
Biodiversity Council, June 2023
People For Nature views nature as the core of society and believe in the power of individuals to drive biodiversity conservation.
Societal Challenges and People for Nature's Approach
Challenge:
We offer workshops and training to help better understand the value and challenges of climate and biodiversity, as well as how to integrate it into decision-making.
Solution:
Reignite connections through education, citizen-led initiatives, and nature-based experiences that foster a deeper appreciation and stewardship of the environment.
Our Theory of Change
At People for Nature, we believe that the more Australians understand and connect with nature, the more likely they are to adopt behaviours that benefit it. When we neglect nature—its climate and ecosystems—we risk undermining the foundation of our societies, diminishing our quality of life, and directly impacting our well-being.
If we inform, empower and reconnect citizens by transforming scientific facts into accessible knowledge, we will increase the number of citizens taking action, foster collective responsibility and strengthen resilience with the hope to keep the planet habitable for all.
