FBA is one of
56 regional bodies
across Australia working with community groups, government and
land managers to care for the environment.
We’re helping our community find ways to look after
Australia’s special places (Australia’s big backyard).

protected or revegetated more than 1.7 million hectares of native
vegetation.

- Assisted 4,138 community groups or projects.

practices across more than 1.5 million hectares of farming and
