DG: Revegetation – NightWings

Complete revegetation of 15 hectares of cleared land to enhance ecosystem function, improve habitat connectivity and increase community awareness.

Why it is important?

The project will result in positive outcomes for both biodiversity and community awareness.  It will build on substantial previous work conducted at the site, including planting of more than 70,000 trees over 9 hectares and installation of wetlands.  A binding conservation agreement will be placed on the site once revegetation is complete, to ensure protection in perpetuity.

Examples of Local Action
