Under a partnership between Saving our Species and the NSW Environmental Trust, Greening Australia is changing community perceptions and a predominantly agricultural landscape.

Glossy black-cockatoos are one of the more threatened cockatoo species in south-eastern Australia due to the clearing and degradation of habitat, which has been further impacted in recent decades by extreme drought and widespread fire. Planting 15,000 trees at 45 sites – in this case, young she-oaks or Allocasuarina littoralis across the southern tablelands and highlands of New South Wales, Greening Australia aims to regenerate critical habitat for this iconic Australian cockatoo.
