The Blue Mountains west of Sydney is one of the world's most spectacular wilderness areas, home to extraordinary biodiversity including ancient species found nowhere else on earth. The southern Blue Mountains in particular contains critical habitat for threatened species including the Blue Mountains water skink, the giant dragonfly, and hundreds of plant species.
Despite its World Heritage listing, the Blue Mountains faces ongoing threats from invasive weeds, feral animals, inappropriate fire management and development pressure. The Paddy Pallin Foundation has a long history of supporting campaigns to protect this remarkable landscape.
We support on-ground conservation work including weed management, threatened species monitoring and advocacy for stronger protections. We work alongside local conservation groups, researchers and the community to protect what remains of this extraordinary wilderness.
Help us protect one of Australia's greatest wilderness areas for future generations.
Together we can protect Australia's most threatened ecosystems and species.
