Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund, Fall Update 2021

In January 2020, WWF launched the global Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund and began mobilizing an urgent response to the bushfire emergency. Working with scientists across Australia, we established a framework to address the full scope of work required to recover what had been lost and put in place safeguards for the future. Thanks to the generous support we received from Australia and around the world, we raised over $50 million for bushfire recovery and resiliency.

During Phase I – the emergency response – we formed partnerships at a grand scale, ensuring that as much wildlife could be saved and rehabilitated as possible.

We are now realizing our Phase II long-term recovery plan of mitigating natural hazards and protecting Australian nature. Regenerate Australia will be the largest landscape restoration and wildlife program in Australia’s history.
