The Great Eastern Ranges (GER) brings people together to protect, connect and restore healthy landscapes across 3,600km of eastern Australia.

GER works with its partners across the length of the continent to stem the loss of native species, provide natural solutions to a changing climate, protect precious resources and ensure a healthy, resilient landscape for wildlife and people.

We support and enable voluntary partnerships involving more than 250 local, regional and national organisations representing a broad spectrum of natural resource managers and conservation stakeholders: Aboriginal people and field naturalists, Landcare and local government, public land managers and research institutions, businesses and educators, policymakers and scientists.

We take a strategic and scientific approach to conservation, working on collaborative projects to:

• Apply science to communicate what nature needs;
• Promote connectivity conservation principles across sectors, tenures and landscapes;
• Mobilise a network of coordinated efforts that restore connectivity for native species; and
• Enable communities through fundraising.

By supporting efforts in the highest priority places, we are achieving something far greater than the sum of our parts – securing the future of one of the world’s great landscapes and the wildlife within.
