Great Eastern Ranges, Australia

Australia has made a commitment to proactively conserve biodiversity in the face of climate change at a large-landscape scale. The first of a series of such efforts was the New South Wales government’s decision to announce the Great Eastern Ranges Connectivity Conservation Corridor (hereafter referred to as the corridor) as a major land-use adaptation response to forecasted climate change effects in the region. To protect the corridor, the Great Eastern Ranges Initiative is an evolving partnership of organizations from Australian governments and nongovernmental organizations to businesses and private landowners.
