The full extent of damage will remain unknown until the fires subside. While we may not have enough details for a complete solution yet, we do know we will need a national wildlife and nature recovery plan to deliver:

• Wildlife response - including partnering with wildlife response organisations, communities and scientist nationally for a swift and effective response and recovery at scale.
• Habitat restoration for people and nature  - including restoring forests and damaged wildlife habitat, stopping deforestation, including cultivating habitat connectivity, core habitat and improved indigenous and rural fire management.
• Future proofing Australia   - including driving innovative solutions to help mitigate climate change, driving climate preparedness, species adaptation and long-term wildlife and nature conservation efforts towards securing Australia’s natural resources for people and nature.

WWF will use these funds to work with partners including, traditional owners, communities, NGOs, scientists, businesses and governments  over the coming weeks, months and years to implement this plan.

We work globally, regionally and locally to stop the degradation of our planet’s natural environment and build a future in which people can live in harmony with nature. From high-level policy and advocacy work to on-the-ground conservation activities – such as creating public engagement and involvement in environmental action and nurturing a green generation – we strategically focus on conserving critical places and species that are of particular importance to their habitat or to humanity. We can only achieve these aims with your support!
